Both. Use to ride bf's rice twenty years ago.
Originally ordered a Lo in mid August with mods was making it a pseudo bagger.
Took the leap and bought myself a nice present.

How tall are you? Have you test driven one yet? The street glide, you'll find is a little lower than the other tourers, I believe. Someone thought you had a Reach seat on it already. If not a Reach Seat will be very helpful. You will love the street glide. Good luck.

Put a super reach seat on it - I believe that is what is in the picture. This put me solid on the ***** of my feet. They are lowering it another inch-should be good to go with that.

Thinking exhaust and a few personalized touches. I really like the way the bike is right out of the box.

Thank you for the advice. I am 5'4". This was the reason I originally only entertained the idea of purchasing a Lo. I have some time on a friend's bagger - but did a little bouncing on my toes. Not fun when you are vertically challenged and bike shopping.

BTW, my wife is your height and rides a 2010 Street Glide - lowered 1" front and rear, Corbin Close Solo seat. You saved a ton of money skipping the Sportster 1200C, Dyna Lowrider, Softail Deluxe combo that got het to the Street Glide!
