Default But, what's the difference?

I have an 08 electra glide. It has the tour pak removed. Street glide seat. 21" front. Fat boy rear. What's the difference between my bike and a street glide? Size? Suspension?

you "made" your custom

the streetglide is a "factory custom" dreamed up by the marketing guys.



when it comes down to it the differences in touring models are speakers, plastics and badgers

Same bike minus a few extras the SG has. Rear fender fillers,hidden saddlebag supports,1" lower rear,dash is different especially if you have communication hook up,running lights (yours have been removed),tank emblems,and fairing mounted mirrors are just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure I'm forgetting some,it's late and I need sleep.
