Love my 07 SG. Ditch the factory seat. I have the sundowner seat and is pretty comfortable on 2 hour straight ride.

the good news...... I saved alot on my car insurance
Oh Ya!
I found out the little lizard was so inexpensive (because AAA doesnt insure bikes) that I
changed ALL my vehicles to the little lizard. So much for not insuring bikes.

Ride it and Have Fun.

Had mine a month, almost 3,000 miles on it. I guess you could say I like it. Restlesshog is right you'll want to ditch the stock seat. It's a little stiff for the rider and worse on a passenger. I got the Sundowner also, great seat.

For you guys with the Sundowner seat, does it move your forward at all closer to the bars?

The only bad new is I have to go to work and leave the SG in the garage! I've had mine three weeks and I love it.

Streetglide has the best of both worlds, cool looks and can do serious touring. I don't agree with the stock seat swap though. This is the first Harley I've owned that I DIDN'T change the seat. I did a 5-state ride totaling just over 3,000 miles in 8 days and couldn't have been more comfortable (I did get the backrest though).

I'm also 6' tall, around 190lbs depending on who's buying beer and the ergonomics and fit are perfect for me on this bike.

The bad news? Your wife or girlfriend will be more jealous of the bike than watching you take pictures at a wet T-shirt contest!
