I too came off a FatBob to a Touring (Street Glide) I needed the bags and wanted a somewhat "cool" bike. I figured I'd be giving up some of the riding "fun factor" coming off the Dyna onto a heavier but more comfortable touring chassis. I was wrong!! The SG handles like a dream, the 103 is stronger than the 96 and unlike the 96 it actually pulls 6th gear. The batwing, radio, cruise, bags are all a bonus....I really liked my Bob but I LOVE my Street Glide! Congrats on the new King.
Did the same thing - best money I spent outside of my Divorce Attorney's fee....
Could you give us a review/comparison after a few miles?
ok, have a few miles on the King...1st...the new sequential ABS brakes are amazing .. you hit the breaks hard and the hole bike drops down to a slow roll, kind of like a hover craft coming down... the cornering is better....way better , it wants to naturally just roll in and out...and stable without any hopping around through the turns... i would say without trying i can take the same corners now 15-20 mph faster.. overall very impressed zero regrets.... love it
