RE: FLTR or FLHX
Thanks for all the input!
You all have touched on several points I have been debating, IE:
I love the black motor, solid paint of the SG. I do not like the single headlamp and cast wheels.
I love the wheels, cruise, wind protection of the RG. I do not like the stripe, extra front end weight.
I quess some of these can be changed or modified on either bike. I did ride both and like both. The fixed vs bar mounted fairing made no differance to me at speed. I felt no adverse wind problems on the SG. The RG did fell more planted or heavy all the time. I guess thats the extra 22lbs up front. The RG is slightly more cumbersome at slow speeds.
Well I am still up in the air?!?!?!?
My gut may be leaning RG, I do like the non cookie cutter look. There are ALOT of batwings out there.

I would say it depends on your riding....longer touring would favor the RG, but around town cruising would favor the SG. I ride an RK & do some shorter touring, but if I were to hit the open road, I would buy an RG.
