HD website SG & RG specs discrepancy?
Hello,
Ever notice looking at the specs of the Street Glide and Road Glide under "Compare bikes":
Seat height unladen the same
Seat height laden the same
However the ground clearance of the SG is list as 4.7" and the RG is 5.1".
And yet the RG Ultra shows a taller height but the same 5.1" ground clearance.
Any idea why or this a mistake?

RG and SG are the same bike with a different faring.
The Rg/SG have the lower shocks while RGU has full size.
RGU come with the standard touring seat but it is marked LOW on the pan it is about 1/2 inch lower.
If you roll the clock back to 2007 the RG had full size shocks and not the shorter ones like the SG. Also the 2007 RG did not have the filler on the rear.
The 2011 and new RGU do not come with the filler but it will bolt on.
On the RGU many just bolt on Progressive 940's they are a to drop 1 inch it will give you one more inch of footing.
For 2011 the SG Flhx list a 18 inch front tire
The RG Fltrx has a 18 inch
The RGU Fltru has a 17 inch
All have a 16 inch rear
This would account for what you seeing

That doesn't explain the difference between the SG and RG though.
