As was posted above the fairing gives the feeling of more room. The down side is a little less wind protection and its a tad tougher to hear the radio above 100 through the corners.

I recently had the opportunity to pick up an 06 Street Glide for cheap but turned it down due to my love of the Road Glide. I did consider picking it up and changing the nose.

I'm 5'8" and the funny thing is my legs feel more cramped on the RG than they did on my Street Glide. I'm sure it has alot to do with the seat though. It sits lower, is more narrow and sit a little more forward. As far as the feel it does feel alot roomier in the front with the fairing set forward.

im 6 foot and could play baseball in the front of my RG. I rode for the first time with my 3/4 helmet today and it was the worst ride ever. buffeted really bad. Never a problem with my clam shell or no helmet. i want to borrow a full face before i buy one. other than that this scoot actually handles better than most all of the smaller bikes i have owned over the years. once i figured out what that dang scraping noise was when i go around corners was i was set. punched in the cruise at 75 on the SS today and just sat back and cruised. solid as a rock.. I would not hesitate to take this one on a 400 mile or longer day in the least.

*oh and by HD MOCO rules I am required to say by oath. ROAD GLIDES SUCK*
