For god's sake don't get a Road Glide, it is ugly and like other's mentioned; the headlights don't move when you are turning and you can't do anything with the radio (other than volume control, audio adjustments, change tracks or stations, change source, etc) another reason not to get one is because it will stick out way too much at Starbucks or when you are hanging out at the dealership on Saturday. It will be much easier to blend in if you get a Street Glide. Plus you can't get the Road Glide in that flaming purple paint job. I bought the Road Glide just so no one else would feel like they had to do the dealership a favor and get it off the floor. I felt like I was doing them a huge favor in allowing them to get rid of such an ill handling eye sore thus making their showroom look that much nicer.

RG. Better handling. Fairing also has those nice convenient storage compartments.

And, oh yeah, they also look better than the SG. There I said it!

A lot of riders report less buffeting by using the rain/wind guards, which are simple to slip over the crash bar: http://www.leadermotorcycle.com/harl...n-rain-guards/
They're also $20 off right now!
