Street Glide or Electra Glide Classic
OK so yesterday I go and ride a new 2012 Street Glide.
And my wife and I really like it.
But for the same money I can have a 2012 Electra Glide Classic which does have more options for the same price but it is a full out touring bike.
I prefer the looks of the Street Glide and I don't ever see my wife and I taking more than day trips on it. Due to her job and other commitments.
But I may do some longer term touring by myself.
So I am really thinking Street Glide. As my other choice is a Softail Fat Boy
What do you guys think.

If you buy a SG and end up adding a touring seat and a tour pack, you should have bought an EG. If you buy an EG and take of the tour pack, drop the suspension, you should have bought a SG.

+1. I love the stripped down look of the Street Glide, but the tour pac is handy as a pocket on a shirt. Of course for an arm and a leg, you could get docking hardware and a tour pac for the SG as well.

You get more for your money with the Classic, but there is something about that stripped down street glide that screams cool.
I have the classic, and have the QD tour pack, removed the bag cages and have a steam lined seat, it gets close to the cool look of the street glide when it's naked.
