RE: EGS or Deluxe?
If you want a street glide then save the money, or finance the difference. You'll kick yourself and spend a ton of money trying to get your EG looking like an SG if you don't. I'm sure 16K isn't an out the door price on the EG. There are probably fees and tax and tags to add to it.

Buy the EGS. Deluxe is a good lookin' scoot, but, as you said, the bags are small and hold next to nothin'......and they ain't cheap, either. I rode the deluxe on a demo and found it to be a little tight on ergonomics and low. I was scraping floorboards easily. Chick bike? Not really. But 80% of the people that buy them are women.....and that is exactly the target market HD intended the bike for.
Both are good lookin' bikes.....but I think the EGS has much more utility for you in bone-stock trim and has loads of customizing opportunity.
My 2 cents............good luck with whatever you choose!

hey EK5858 ... those MPGs you listed both for '07s?
I figured the Deluxe would get better MPGs than the EGS with lighter weight.

RE: EGS or Deluxe?
I have a softail and an ultra
I love my softail as a bar hopper
But get on the freeway and is is hands down bagger
Very little wind on the bagger
Radio and cruise are the s*#@
I like the passing lamp look and not the single that the S glide has
My buddy has a blk/wht Deluxe it is a great bike
but my vote is

Had mine narrowed down to the same 2 choices you do plus the Superglide 35th Aniv. Rode all 3 and chose the EGS. My test ride was on a windy day and the choice was clear for me. Ride them both and go from there.

You're asking this on the Touring section and getting the expected answers. Now ask the same question on the Softail section and see what answers you get.
