I was just wondering which had more weak areas. i see that their is a problem with the radio bracket wearing through the outer fairing on some sharks and alot of broken mounting brackets on the batwings,just wondering which is a weaker fairing and what other issues they have
other minor things and I am sure the 2010 Shark will have some issues down the road. No major issues with my 2006 E G with 33000 miles. Shark only has 3000. Of course,any issues upcoming on the Shark will be under warranty. This is a Harley and if you follow this Forum you well know that there are problems with most new Harleys, some more serious than others. I have a recall now on my 2010 RG, on a gas tank front mount. SO it goes. But i know what you mean and we all want to be as informed as we can, BEFORE we pull the trigger.......hdman

i went shopping for a used,latemodel roadglide and ended up with a clean used electra glide.my previous scooter was an '81 FLT tourglide(the original roadglide...)updated with an evo.i loved the bike,but hate the AMF stigma and lack of parts available.
i really enjoy my EGC,but would take another roadglide in a heartbeat.the day may even come when i convert my bike to a roadglide.
someone earlier commented on roadnoise,etc..,but i really felt more highspeed stability on the roadglide over my EGC.
