You're wrong Bonz, certainly in the UK
Cruise is not an option, its standard on an 08 SG
I should know, I've just bought one!

Just checked HD web site. CC is a factory installed option on the SG. It is not standard.

My '08 SG did not come with cruise control, it was an option (apx $245). Perhaps your dealer ordered yours that way. I have one on order which won't be available til Sept.

You know I like the 08's, sawa couple during a factory tour in York, and have also seen some at dealers, I personnaly like the crimson red denim, they had one in york you could sit on, but I went with the 07 because I got in $3000 under MSRP!!! 16900 with security(Black Pearl) couldnt turn it down. If that weren't the case I would have went with the Crimson Red Denim SG.

RE: BUY AN 08 STREET GLIDE OR AN 07
Local dealer has a Pearl White SG, beutiful bike but considering the new changes which most are good to just okay in my book a 07 would be the way to go. On the 08's no changing handle bars till they figure out the interal throttle by wire deal. No power commander or tuning upgrade because of the same issue. They say the front disc is floating but its not a true floating rotor. So when the new power commanders come out they will be at a premium price along with everything else. One thing that really irked me was why put the throttle wires inside the bars while all the other wires are on the outside...just didn't make much sense. The new brake calipers look great though. Just my .02 on it.

There are pros and cons. I have an 07 black pearl Road Glide and love it. As for the fly by wire, just another electronic thing to go wrong. As for the brakes,
a!salesman and service writer the brakes can only be serviced by the dealer, no more do it yourself pad changes. Either way both bikes are awesome.
