Default 2014 Wide Glide or Street Bob

Street Bob = Charcoal Pearl, non-ABS

Wide Glide = Blackened Cayenne, ABS

Either one will have a D&D Fatcat, SE 259 Cams, Arlen Ness Big Sucker, TTS Mastertune, and will be dyno tuned.

They are both cool, and both have their pros and cons.

Trying to get an idea of what the group thinks.

Cool

Why FXDB?

And if someone chooses the FXDWG...why to that as well?

Trying to see if someone puts a spin on it that I haven't thought of.

Simple, Wide Glide! (slightly biased)

Plus you can mod it towards(to look like) that Night Train you miss so.

Here's the deal:

Tomorrow there is a very likely possibility I'm trading the street glide for one of those two mentioned bikes.

The street bob will get the passenger treatment as well as the engine mods.

The wide glide would just get engine mods.

Both would require new bars.

Obviously the wide glide would be about $1500 more.

I like them both and am kind of torn between the two. And I'm very aware the wide glide can be made to look very similar to the night train...huge bonus points for that.

I would choose the street bob. But theres no way I would trade a street glide for either one of those.

I've gotten that a couple times. It's a great bike, but I like looking at it more than riding it. This is gonna sound retarded, but it doesn't energize me like the raw, no-frills bikes do.

After being told by by so many people to buy a Street Glide I finally was ready to buy a new 2014. I walked into the last dealer I was shopping and a CVO Breakout was on display which was so cool except for the price and color. Several Fat Bobs were displayed in several new color schemes which none I like especially not having the classic black. The bike I always wanted, the Wide Glide, was in stock in black my favorite. Even though I was shopping Street Glide, and probably will get one, the Wide Glide is what I like. I test drove and and bought it and love it. Buy what you like, not what others like.

Wide glide. Street bob just feels to small to ME. Key word...FEELS and ME. May not apply to you or anyone else.

i dont like the front rake on the WG at all so I vote SB (100% baised of course) or maybe look into the new low rider... i used to think i wanted a street glide until i demoed one so i get what you're saying about them.
