Along with all the things mentioned prior...

The biggest (HUGE) difference for me is the brakes.

Congrats! I love mine too. Talk about a jump, I moved up from a '98 Sporty. Thought about a Deluxe, then a Road King, then thought about going to an Electra Glide.
I think I got it all wrapped up in the Street Glide.
Ride safe, brother...at any speed

I went from a '95 FLSTC to the SG. Obvious huge difference, but the biggest surprise was the handling. This big touring frame is so easy! I'm loving this bike!

I knew the Street Glide was going to be an improvement over the Road King but the difference is night and day! And yes the new brakes are incredable. Don't get me wrong I loved the Road King and it was a great bike, I will never talk bad about it but I really love the Glide and can't imagine having anything else. Pic should be in sig. now.
