Street Glide or Road Glide
Hi All,
I have a 2018 Heritage that I love. I just took a trip from Ohio to Florida with it and was a pretty nice ride. Longest trip I've taken. I plan to ride to Sturgis this year from Ohio. I'm thinking about getting another bike for long distant touring. Road King is out as its too much like my Heritage. I want the fairing and some more comforts for longer distances. Considering either a Street Glide or Road Glide. My wife comes along for shorter rides so long distance two up is not a factor. I know she'd be more comfortable on a touring bike though.
Any thoughts, pros and cons for each?

Road Glide shark fairing adds zero weight to steering and you don’t have to worry about the wind pushing your bars around.
Street Glide Batwing looks better IMHO. It’s still easy to ride and steer just not as easy as a Road Glide.
2000 mile rides I would go Road Glide especially since you already have a Heritage that is one of the coolest looking bikes out there. I’m still a sucker for a softail, I miss my Fatboy but my RK is way more comfortable.
I’ll probably add a Memphis Fairing and be content with the RK.
If I ever decide to trade my bike in a RGU would be my choice. Coming up on 50 and I just want to be comfortable now!
