Mine is a somewhat stripped down EG. I like! SG does not have the bag guards, front fender trim, passing lamps and lots of other chrome stuff, but they do have a clean look. Your missus will like the EG seat much better than the SG seat for sure.

I'd say that's a fair up trade for the HD.

i'd just take the tour pack off , put it back on if you go for a multi day trip . if a Street Glide is what you really want just wait for one to show up at a price you like . especially if you don't mind one 10 years old .

I stripped my Electra glide classic down. I did bullet turn signals quick detach tour pak street glide wheels and windshield and added lowers looks almost just like a street glide and was fun to work on. I didnt do it all at once just here and there but I like it. But I do use the tour pak a lot more thank I thought I would.

I've been searching for a street glide but all options seem to be out of my current price range. A guy wants to trade me a 2010 Electra Glide for the snowmobile im trying to sell. Is it worth it to strip it down to get more of a SG look? Snowmobiles are hard to sell this time of year or else I would just hold out, but I would like to take some trips the year with the girlfriend. I was thinking a SG as I mostly do day trips but the touring pack may be nice. I know it would be a little bit of money to slick it down but I'd still be in it less than buying a SG right out at this point... thoughts? Maybe some photos to inspire. I've been searching forums for hours trying to make up my mind
Buy a quick release docking kit and a street glide seat and you have 2 bikes in 1 and it takes about 10 minutes to change back and forth.
