A Street Glide is without a doubt a mean f-ing ride. It has a bad a** look, handles great and has a stereo. A Road King on the other hand, let's say a Classic, also has a bad a** look to it, handles great and doesn't NEED a stereo. You could always do the Ape Hanger thing with a Road King but you can't really get away with that on the SG. At least not in my opinion. And a RK with Apes really looks bad a**.
I would probably recommend both. In fact, as soon as my Shovel Head is finished and sold, that's what I'm gonna do. I've already got the SG so the hard part is over.
