I think its time for project King Glide
I was in your same shoes a year or so back. I converted my '08 Street Glide to a Road Glide. Best money spent on a "new to me" bike. I had way more in my Street Glide than I cared to part with, but wanted a Road Glide. The conversion is fairly easy, and depending on your parts source the cost isn't that bad. I used all new parts purchased from Ronnie's HD at the discounted price (hate dealer pricing).
If anyone wants a parts list, I have it here. The pricing is probably different now, but gives you an idea of what it takes. Once I had all the parts in hand the actual conversion was done over a weekend.

I am not a fan of the SG and yes it would be easier to do a batwing fairing and go that route. I am crazy about the RG and want to go all in so that when you see it, it looks and functions exactly like a RG. My only question is can I use a fairing off of a newer RG and will a 6 gal tank fit my bike or do I have to stay with a 97-07 tank and fairing?
I am not looking for a new to me bike as I cannot afford a payment and I have way to much into this bike and like it and just want to add the Road Glide front fairing gauges and stereo to it. I like the RG because the fairing is mounted to the frame of the bike not just to the forks.

I made mine into a Streetking CVO. Streetglide front and rear fenders, side covers and stretched bags with the SG pinstripes. CVO wheels, shocks. Chopped tourpak with King backrest. Tmax, true duals, a/c stack. I like the cleaner look. Its fast and comfortable.

My King is undergoing a transformation into a CVO style Street Glide. Had my bike up for sale, but no takers, and I've already got decent $$ in it so it was cheaper to keep it and install a fairing, hard extended bags, and a new front wheel. Best of luck in your build!
