The EG is just a bare bones SG. Comparing them on Harleys website or in-person at the dealership, you'll see right away what's missing/added between the 2. It's a lot. Hence the big price difference.

no, not a bit. the 19'' front wheel/tire has the same rolling diameter as the 16'', 17'', and 18'' wheel/tire combos. the 18'' rear is about 3/8'' overall larger, but that really is going to have no bearing since the wheel doesn't stick out past the rear of the bike. the wheelbase is the same at 64''. there's no tour pack to worry about, so the only thing that i can think of is the tribar light, but that doesn't seem like it would extend the horizontal dimension 2'' since it is only slightly off vertical.
