New SG :)
Well after my wife teasing me for 6months about my Yam, I traded in last night for a 2010 SG 
WoW what a ride. Riding home it was so smooth and I love the batwing with the instruments.
Only added a couple of items, siren/pager and Reach seat. I went back and forth on the seat but at 29inseam I need something to lower me. I only road about 30miles home but the seat was really comfortable. I could feel when I gave some throttle that I sinked into the seat little but it was still very comfortable. I need careful of the heel/toe shifter. The toe location on my Yam was farther out and I keep kicking air as the SG is right next to my foot. Also when stopped at light, my fillings in my teeth are starting to come out
I figure the idle shake will go down little once I brake it in and goto Syn oil.
Here are a couple of pic's the wife took. I feel like I am sitting like in a chair on the bike, not sure if that means I am too cramped. However since I can foot plant with the reach I do not think it will be a problem. Riding home was very comfortable. I will test it out on longer rides once break in is done. I might get some highway pegs to stretch my legs.

Awesome bike! The vibrations will settle down a bit, but remember if it doesnt shake and its an HD then something must be wrong. LOL. I see you are wearing a full face helmet a good safe choice. If you will be wearing an open face you are going to want to look into other windshield options.

I'm trying to picture the replies you would get on a post, on this forum, that read : HOW LONG WOULD YOUR WIFE HAVE TO TEASE YOU, for you to trade in your yamaha for a 2010 Street Glide. Most would reply : Between 30 and 60 sec. 6 months ?? nicebikewelcometotheforum. Jim.
Let the spending begin!
