Street Glides suck. 
Kidding.
Just didn't want to seem like I was parroting everyone else. 
They're right about the gals though - I really don't know why, but my SG is the first bike I've had that my wife would get on. No idea why. And to some, I suppose that would be a negative.
True story though. Couldn't even get her on the King even after I bought a rather nice passenger pillion for her.

Come to the Darkside Luke! You will love the bagger. Some may disagree but I think the 08s are an excellent choice. There are tons of parts available and most of the bugs are worked out. 6 gallon tank, 6 speed tranny, 96" engine - very nice all around.
I have been thinking about transitioning from an 05 SuperGlide to a bagger...specifically the StreetGlide. I have always had a thing for this style bike. With a planned trip to Sturgis this year, seems like a good time to make the switch. A friend has an 08 StreetGlide that he is willing/wanting to sell (getting out of biking because of some injuries). He has a race tuner, V&H pipes and some other upgrades.
What are the pros and cons of this platform? What might I be overlooking?
I am ready to pull the trigger once I find a buyer for my SuperGlide.
Thanks
Todd

You can't go wrong with either 08 or 09. Only you know if you are ready for a bagger or not. Took me a while to get there but now that I am I won't go back.
