I have a friend at work who used to own a Road Glide and an Electra Glide. Being an Electra Glide owner myself, I asked him which bike he thought was the better of the two. He said the Electra Glide was in his opinion the best. He said the only drawback with the EG was the "Front end push". I didnt really know what he was talking about, so, not wanting to seem like a dumba$$, I just nodded and said oh, uh huh. Has anyone on here ever heard this term and what is it?

 

you do not fight the wind and wind from passing trucks with the Road Glide, Faring is mounted to the frame. you fight the wind with the bat wing.

 

usually "front end push" refers to the front tire washing out or starting to slide. but he was probably refering to what nightglide said.

 

Right you are theredavewear. I just did that earliertonight on a fast right hand sweeping turn. I did get it back but for a split second I thoughtI bought it.Vehicles in the oncoming lane where I would have landed would likely have killed me. Funny thing is I take that turn like 6 times a day sometimes leaving my house. Obviously I need to slow down and stop trying to knee drag my bagger. Plus the factory tires suck. Have heard Metzlers are worlds better.

 

yup the metzlers are better, the only time i've had any push is when i'm too deep into the hard bits.....it aint my 996

 

They are Apples and Oranges Bud. So which ever one you like better the Metzler's are them. FYI, I like Apples better. [8D]
