Wind Drag- SG vs. RG
Stock with no aftermarket windshields which one has the least amount of wind drag at highway speeds (70-75)?
The street glides front fairing is closer to the body and higher vs. the road glides is further away from the body and not as tall.

The Road Glide is more aerodynamic than the Street Glide. From the factory, the stock Street Glide set up (fairing and windscreen) produces about 30 ft/lbs. of lift, creating greater instability the faster you go.
Check out Klockwerks windscreens. Brian developed one for the Street Glide that produces 15-20 ft/lbs of downforce, making it more stable the faster you go (don't forget the DynaBeads).
