RE: Which bagger handles better?
ORIGINAL: wnogood
I ride a Roadie. I love the classic looks of the Electra Glide. I could easily manhandle a bike with the combined weight of both put together. Why did I buy a Roadie? Just ride one......sit on the OTHER side of the fairing ( where you cannot see the ugly ) who cares what the front looks like? I have never seen the front of my bike going down the road. Is there a difference? HELL YES. Will it be enough difference for you to purchase something you already have doubts about? Who knows. I did not buy my scoot to win no popularity contests at the motorclothes boutique. I bought it to ride. If the shape of the fairing makes my ride more enjoyable...I dont give a damm if its shaped like an a$$.
nogood o~`o

RE: Which bagger handles better?
I had a roadglide before I had two Eglides and didn't really notice much difference handling wise, but I did notice its alot more peaceful behind the batwing turbulence wise than the roadglide. I tried different heights for windshields and was never really happy, especially when those stupid wellnuts that they use to hold the windshield on would fall inside the fairing! I love my ultra and would never go back, its got the most bang for your buck IMHO.

Damn did I open up a can of worms lmao. Yes I know all to well about losing little parts in the fairing when changing out a windshield. I've owned an 02 Road Glide.
Great bike indeed...
