Default EG Std. or Street Glide

One day when I get my act together, I am going to move from the Fat Boy to a touring bike. Is the EG Std. a good value or am I smarter going with something better equiped like the Street Glide? I realize the Street Glide is lower. Thank you, Brent.

You want full gauges, stereo with clean hotrod bagger styling out of the box? Get a SG.

Depends on what you get the best deal on.&nbsp\\; Just picked up a Standard '05 for 10K with only 2750 miles on it.&nbsp\\; My oldest son is pretty jazzed as he gets it. &nbsp\\;

&nbsp\\; I was gonna go EGStandard because I figured the radio was stupid and I would not be able to hear it anyway. My hearing sucks as it is. I went Ulltra and the radio is the coolest! I hear it fine and now I can take my tunes with me on a ride. Get the radio!

The SG has the styling edge, but&nbsp\\;the&nbsp\\;EG Standard offers&nbsp\\;more value, plus&nbsp\\;it comes with driving lights and a touring saddle.
