good morning,
i have a 07 fatboy and this weekend i took a 09 street glide out for a ride this weekend as it was the only touring model they had .i am interested in getting an electre gide standard for my first tourer.i gotta say i was a bit disappointed.alot af floorboard vibration and my vision was bouncing up and down terribly.i asked some riends with touring models and they told me ,MAYBE it was the way the wind rolls off the fairing,hitting me in the face.i liked the rest the bike had to offer but that vision thing bugs me.i kinda think maybe the bike had something wrong,maybe unbalanced tires?has anyone experienced this before or am i nuts,and if so is there anything to try or do to remedy this problem?
Regards,
fatbotartie

 

I would say if your were bouncing up and down in the set, some thing is wrong. I have a 00EGC and love it, very smooth. Good luck.

 

you really can;t compare the tow bikes. the Street Glide is lower and has a shorty windshield, the EGS is higher, has a higher windshield...I have had the pleasure of riding both, all depends on what you want
just remember in 2010 there will be no Standard or so we hear

 

I don't think any touring bike should do what you're talking about, or at least mine never has. I think something was wrong with that bike, might be why it was the last touring bike left to rent. BTW, I have a standard, and I love it, but we do hear they are gonna discontinue them in 2010. Don't worry, plenty of used ones out there for less $ anyway.
