road king... quick release windshield, cruise control (on the Classic), air ride

SG = cannot remove the fairing on warm days/bar hopping and im also not crazy about the dash on the tank (without the speedo in it)

but- the decision is up to you. if youre not sure- rent the SG and a RK. maybe a dealer would allow you to pay for 1 days rental fee and switch btwn the 2 bikes mid-day.... you may have to slide them some BS about buying your new HD from them if you decide to get one, but that request shouldnt be too hard to accomodate.

It can help, if you know what kind of rideing you do. Like mention the RK, is like having two bikes in one you can ride on cool days with the winshield, or take it off to cruise locally.
I can take a 2000 mile trip or cut corners locally on my Road King Classic.
I also have like the street glide look and the fairing with the radio. I do plan on getting a second bike either the Ultra or the glide. JMO.
