[QUOTE=byersmtrco;18085317]I am wondering about those funny little lights on the saddlebags.
Are those reflectors ? They don't look like the turn signals on a
Ltd or Ultra.[/QUOTE
Reflectors, same as the Canadian Street Glide. Rear facing red reflectors are required in both countries.

Wonder why the Electra Glide Standard is 2 inches shorter than a Street Glide?

I was trying to figure that out that myself, different front rim/tire, rear fender configuration perhaps?

Well, the rake and trail are the same between bikes.
Wheelbase is the same.
Only difference looks like from the front tire sizes.

All the front wheels H-D uses, 16", 17", 18" and 19" are pretty well the same rolling diameter with tyre fitted, certainly not 2" different!

How about the same concept as the FLHT and a stripped down base Road Glide? I'd be on board with that.
