street glide a good choice if i dont tour much?
It's what I like. Well, I love it. But I do mostly around town and maybe 50-100 mile rides. Would I be better with something different? I never had a problem with my Road King.

Hell yes its a god choice. Having a young family I dont get too many long travels myself. I love the Street Glide for around town. Then on the occasion I do get a long run in. Plus with the bags, it gives me an excuse to get milk at the store

Plan on touring on my SG, heck, you can tour on a Sportster.....
SG doesn't have the most comfortable seat, but you can change that easy enough.....
Me, I'll add seat, bars, chopped box and away I go....

If you want to look cool and tour!!! JK I love them both but I also dont get to tour much and liked the stream line look of the street glide. But I would sure like to have a King TP for when I do get the chance to go on over night rides.

Think that is precisely why the Street Glide was developed.
Has the cool lowered look, and is stripped down a bit from the full tilt bagger.
They also work great for touring with hard bags, air suspension for heavier loads and fairing for wind protection.
Also a pretty good commuting choice.
