Hi guys, was hoping to get some opinions. I'm a fairly new rider and due to work/family I ride back and fourth to work and around town(no trips). i bought a 2010 wide glide last year and I love it but I need something for a little storage. problem is I like how it looks now and don't want to put bags on it. I ve been thinking about trading/selling it for a 2012 street glide. my question is for my purposes would the street glide be a good fit or am I better off with the wide glide. thanks.

 

Just sayin, once you go tourer you'll never go back. Might have two bikes, but most never go back.

 

He's right touring bikes are Bada$$

 

It all starts with " I just need alittle storage"........... Then before you know it you got an Ultra sitting in the garage.

 

I have an 09 Road Glide with lowers which i love for traveling, however for around town it just doesn't cut it. Just bought a used "03 Wide Glide and love it!! Just did a 175 trip today and did miss the comfort of the touring chassis but had a blast on the Wide Glide. So much lighter, no windshield, feels like I'm back on a motorcycle. Not to mention quite a bit faster. I love it!

 

Wide glide here 12 years.
Then went to street glide. You will like the SG. But miss the WG. Get some bags and use it for a while. Give your self some time to figure out what u really need or want.

 

My first HD was a 07 SG and I love it. The hard bags carry everything I want on the road with me and I still have space for the wifes crap.

 

That right there is the problem! Geez, go for a weekend and you'd think you were going for a month!

 

As a previous wide glide owner, I did love that bike. But, no that I have a bagger I really enjoy the storage. Even for something as simple as picking some things up at the store after a ride. I don't need to go home first then go back out. I had always wanted a wide glide as long as I can remember. After I road i for about a year it became apparent that a bagger was the bike for me. My friends had some influence too, they all road them.

 

My friends and I all started with Deuces and Wide Glides, now we all have street glides and no regrets..
