I do like it loud! I also do appreciate that AVC at red lights.
I'm not trying to put on a show, but I am trying to rock out as a ride.
I dig it. This CVO radio is awesome. But I'm open to more, just concerned how much better I would hear while riding. If it only sounds better in the garage, then I don't care as much.

I traded up to a Road Glide this year from a Softail standard. It is a great ride. It slices through the wind and doesn't tear you up because the fairing weight is on the frame rather than the forks.
I looked at both the street glide and road glide. After careful research, I decided on the road glide. I was not disappointed.
Good luck with your decision.

Well Ive asked ya guys earlier about street glides, Well here is my predicament my local dealer is getting in a candy orange Road Glide, they had no left over 12s so the offered me this or a Street Glide for around 20k out the door with 1.9% financing at the local credit union. Ive got the itch that since everyone around has a streetglide, I was thinking being different with looks and color. What will I expect with the differences in these bikes??
You really need to ride them both and see which one you like best. I have both and I like them both. On the highway and for long hauls, I like the batwing better. It has better wind and rain protection for me and my GF. My batwing is also an Ultra so its really set up for two up touring.
My solo bike is the RGU. I mostly use it as a bar hopper, but with my new Klockwerks 12" windshield, the wind is controlled enough to be a comfortable road bike. Most passengers get the snot beat out of them on a RG unless you have a billboard for a windshield.
Just some thoughts.
Good luck and post some pics of your new bike.

From someone who has ridden a fair share of batwing bikes, I moved to a RoadGlide.
Now, I'll never own nothing but a RG..............
Unless ofcourse someone gives me a Street Glide
Then, I'll trade it for a RG LOL

The FIRST truly HOT ROD BAGGER was the 2000 Screaming Eagle CVO Road Glide.
Both are great rides, choose the one that best fits you and your riding style.
Good Luck and Enjoy!

Line up 10 dailey ridden Harley Davidson touring bikes and the ratio will usually be about 7 or 8 Batwings to 1 or 2 Road Glides and maybe a Road King thrown in there. Say what you want, you've all been to rallys and have all seen it and know it's true. Bats are out riding and not having to defend there purchases. Says it all...
