Default Need help identifying a bagger plz

Hey all. Last night I got a quick view of two metal bag bikes pull into a station. Both bikes were identical making me think they are stock and newer models. Both were gloss/vivid black w what looked like a raised metallic style badge (script possibly) .... batwing fairings, black rectangle bags , didnt see pipes or suspension, and both had 21' laced fronts with (I think) all aliminum lowers.
I have no pics, searched everything and cant find any w stock 21 etc.... Thanks in advance. Cheers.

They were most likely street glides if they were Harleys. They come with hard bags and a fairing. Road kings have hard bags but no fairing - windshield instead. Electra glides have the upper hard bag. Assuming they were pretty much stock, my vote is for Street Glides.

Thanks! It seems like the Road Glide but are there any years it came with a narrow front end type 21 inch spoked wheel and sporty style fender?

A very sarcastic AND true statement! Yes, I'm well aware of this "modification " you speak of....thanks.
My point (maybe I didn't drive it home enough by typing it clearly once) is I thought it was odd that TWO guys, rode into a station riding TWO same year, same color, same model, same TWO bikes modified EXACTLY the same on the front end w 21laced wheels, yet nowhere else on the bike (that I could see). I guess you see this type of "identical custom duo" type scenario often. I don't. "go figure". Thanks for the input. Cheers
