RE: thinking about sg
I predict you're gonna love it! I came off an 03 Fatboy with SE Heads, Big Bore, Woods Cams, Thunderheader so I did the 95" with SE203 Cams before I picked my SG up. It runs GREAT! Very quick and smooth. The Fatboy ran really strong and on occasion I miss the bit extra ooomph, but not typically. It was nowhere near as smooth. I don't know it the SG is the best riding Harley or not, (although I think it rides VERY nice), but I AM blown away by the handling of the big bike. The lowered suspension and balance is unreal. I can throw this thing into tight corners and really lean into it this bike MUCH MUCH better and with more confidence than I ever could with my Fatboy, and I loved that bike.

Go for It, you will love It , my only real issue are the front brakes squealing, hoping the gealer will take care of it at first service.

RE: thinking about sg
I too went from a softtail (03 Night Train) to the SG. AFter riding home from Laconia last year. My elbow started bothering me (developed tendonitis from holding on against the wind). So I decided that I would upgrade to a tourer.
Got the SG and had a 95" HTCC kit along with the SE slipons (OOPS forget about that rumors are that they are being discontinued). The power is awesome (for the 8 miles I rode it before tearing the bike apart).

RE: thinking about sg
I have put over 400 miles on my bike since picking it up on Thursday afternoon. Great bike, it rides very smooth and has plenty of power to get around with. But being the power hungry guy I am I will be getting a 95" kit or something similar. I also need an exhaust. My exhaust is TOO QUIET!!!!! I cannothear it at alla round other riders.
Other then that the bike is great, added a couple primary and timing covers and ordered mroe parts..... the spending begins
