Super Glide Custom?
Being that it is winter and I have too much time to think about stuff is killing me. I am going to buy a Dyna in the next few months and have bounced back and forth between which model to get. I was set on a Switchback but have since cancelled that out. Then I was thinking a Street Bob would be it. But then I started looking at the Super Glide now I am on the fence again. They are essentially the same bike with a little different look.
I already own a 2013 Sportster 72 that I am not selling, I am adding a daily rider that will be a Dyna. The SG already comes ready for two up which is a plus. I can always buy a solo seat. I like the rear fender set up on the SB but don't hate the SG set up. It's pretty much down to if I want chrome or black.
Any thoughts?

Lots... in November got creamed by a car - and still don't know if my 2012 XL1200C is going to be totaled (just discovered subframe damage...it's not looking good). So I started thinking Dyna. Can't afford much more and not sure I want the extra weight for my commute anyway. All my bikes have been mid-control, so the Dyna Custom immediately appealed. The fact that it costs a grand (or more) less than the rest of the Dyna line is also a factor.

I didn't really want the yellow when I got mine. I had to pick between the blue and the yellow if I wanted mine the day I got it. That pearl yellow though it grows on you. It did me anyway. If I had a buck for every time someone has commented on it I swear it would be paid off already!

I just bought a new Super Glide, couldn't be happier. Added Leather Works bags and an HD touring windshield. Both quick detach for cruiser and touring modes.

Wow...awesome looking bike. Just left a forum on "best looking Harley" and the FXDC got the nod - often.

For me it was the black and chrome, while the SG and SB are about the same the bars and seat changed my mind as I went in looking to buy the SG,
As you can see by my sig picture I made the Street Bob my own combining the best of both worlds.

Do all the Street Bobs come with blacked out engines? I thought I saw some had chrome just like the SG. Anyhow, I wouldn't worry about the seat cause you'll probably swap it out regardless of what bike you get. I personally like the bars on the SB better, but again, those could be easily swapped out too. Good luck.
