The Street Glide's headlight points to where you
turn the handle bars, and the Road glide's head light points to where the
whole bike is pointed, and for me that is an uneasy feeling.
As it has been pointed out before on the forums once you are push steering in a corner any light mounted to handlebars turns the opposite way you are and rises up as you lean the bike over...
...The Street Glide's headlight points to where you turn the handle bars...
Correct. And, since you turn a motorcycle by countersteering, when you make a left turn on a SG (or every single Harley except a RG, btw), the SG's lights point to the right, and when you make a right turn the SG's lights point to the left, until you get all the way through the turn and then they point straight ahead, just like your car.
And a Road Glide.
Actually, all of these bikes have plenty of "spread" on the headlights, and you'll be able to see just fine. Really.
