I rarely even run a windshield so I must not be not too worried about wind. Unless I'm riding 500 miles or it's 30 degrees.

Thanks for the replies. It's going to be tough to choose between RG and SG.

less wind and better stereo always good choices for a motorcycle.
I would have bvoiught a RG if I had found one with a tour pack, cruise
control and rear speakers when I was shopping.
Luckily, my G/F liked the color of the Ultra Classic (she is SO PICKY).

I put a set of Heritage handlebars on the RG and I get some wind on em. I'm not sure if it's direct wind or deflected from the fairing.
