Pros and Cons of a Street Glide
Pros and Cons of a Street Glide
I've been thinking about getting a 2nd bike - a Street Glide - and there's a 13 SG at the Dealer with 6500 miles on it, stock and in black and $2000 below NADA average price. It has security package and ABS brakes but nothing else added. I had a 15 minute test ride on it and it seems really nice, but obviously different to my Heritage which I want to keep.
Those of you that have SGs what do you think of your bike? What do you like and don't like? If I got it I would add slip ons. The other tourers are heavier and I don't want a RK.

I bought my 2011 Street Glide used in August 2012. I traded my 94 Electra Glide Ultra for it. The rear suspension on the Street Glide can be a bit unforgiving, as it does not have much travel, but nothing terrible. The only thing I miss is not having the extra storage of a tour pack. My Glide is 96" with a stage 1 and Rinehart true duals, runs great. I like the 6th gear on the highway. I don't really listen to the stereo very much, so I have no opinion on it. The cruise control works well. I don't have ABS or factory alarm.
I have put about 4000 miles on it since August and overall I really like it. I am very happy with my purchase. Good luck

I'm thinking my next scooter might be a denim black Street Glide with bag guards, a taller windshield and a nice Rinehart exhaust. I would like to have ABS with no security and cruise control.
