you've spent years trying to decide on which model to buy???

nothing anyone says here can make that decision any easier. just get the one you like the best.

Son got a new StreetGlide last summer..

Having rode it several times.....
IMHO the SG and Heritage rides close to the same as far as road smoothness, yet diff. Seat on the heritage fits my big butt better

Ergo Comfort wise I prefer the mini apes bars on our heritage and its seat height is bout 1" lower,

I do like the looks of the Streetglide, its bad... the bat wing is a little better for wind but I'd need a couple or three more inches taller shield on it. Don't listen to radio so that's not a plus for us.

Totally happy with our Heritage. The best mod I've done was the cams.. they helped more than any other thing I've done to her.

Could live with either one easy...

Road King...about as versatile a bike as they make. Long hauls, pop the window off for bar hopping, comfortable as heck,...there's a good reason its called the King.
