Default I'm a little lost right now....

Damn- just can't decide- street glide, road glide. I am going to buy one or the other this month (2010) I think I would be happier with the road glide (I think it "feels" lighter on the front end) but I like the looks of the street glide.
I also like denim black but all of the dealers tell me it would be a mistake as some of the current owners are complaining about "shiny spots" from knees and etc. I think either model looks bad-a** in denim black but could live with vivid black. Bottom line is I guess I am concerned about the resale (eventually) of the Road Glide vs the Street Glide. Also mama prefers the Street Glide. I have a long history of doing the exact opposite of the "normal" people so I am looking for honest feedback to help sort this out. and yes- I have ridden both of them...

You can add a fairing and tour pak to the RKC? Is there something you don't like about it?

I'd go with the Roadie; at least you'd be able to find it. Ought to stick out from the bazillion street glides.

Get the RG. Then one of your hop up parts can be this fairing set up. ;-)
