The SG used to be a great touring bike -- until 2010. Since ***** decided to make it cool for the kiddy crowd, it's now not much more than a large bar-hopper.

There are none around here. I took a trip to yellowstone a couple of weeks ago, and across CO, the small part of Utah I hit, and from what I was told all of Wyoming there were no denim blacks to be found. I saw a scarlet red in almost every dealer, but no denims.
I'm going tomorrow to a dealer thats somewhat close to me, and tell them to do their best hunting me one down.

Funny, the "kiddy crowd" can handle the wind a little better than the old folks I guess.

Wasn't sure where you were from but seems like it might be pretty far to Maryland now that you have given us more info.

Personally I think lowers look cool, and are great in the winter. Just get you a tall 15" shield, and your problems should be over.

yeah, pretty far.. Kansas to be exact. I'll just start at the closest dealer tomorrow and work my way out until I either find one, or find a dealer willing to get me one. I don't want to order and wait... I'm not very patient.

more aerodynamic than a brick maybe, but not the rg. when you find the right cobination for you, i will bet that you end up loving the rg and start putting all us batwingers down.....

With a 4" windshield maybe..............I have riden a RG for an hr, IT SUCKED!!!! The stock RG was a wind machine and was beyond terrible........I would never own one just for that reason........I would buy one in a heart beat but the wind is a joke........I will keep my batwing!!

I have, and I dont get any wind from up by the forks. Is it possible they redesigend the fork air baffle?
