I myself purchased my '09 standard in '08 mostly because denim black wasn't offered in a SG at that time. I'm glad I bought it then because I don't like the black denim SG.
I also knew I wanted to change a lot of things so I figured why waste SG money.
The amount of $$$$ I've spent on this bike probably puts it back at the SG price, but it's exactly how I want it. Not how it came from the dealer.

There isn't that much of a difference parts wise. It's just different looking parts. My bike started life as a standard and has morphed into something a little different. Black engine, Lowered rear, Road glide seat, Street Glide front and rear fenders, I still need to pick up the rear fascia though. Also has a 2 into 1 pipe ect ect.
