A few of the more notable differences between the two are that a SG doesn't have a tourpak, has a lower windsheild, has 12" shocks compared to 13" on the EG and has about about 3/8" less ground clearance.
I made my tourpak detachable on my EGC and I feel that I get the effect of having a SG and an EGC by adding or removing the tourpak. I just don't swap out the windsheild. I prefer the taller windsheild that is just below my line of sight over the shorter 4" or 6" windsheild.

They are the same bike except for some minor "looks" things.
Streetglide has a plain fender, no passing lamps, bullet style turn signals, and is an inch lower. Street Glide has a stock seat that is different and they come with a stereo.

Actually although there may be a 1" difference in the shock length, a SG's ground clearance is listed as 4.7" and a EGC at 5.1" a difference of .4". The seat heights are considerably different. A SG seat height is 27" w/o weight and 26" w/ weight compared to a EGC at 29" and 27".
A SG also doesn't have guard rails around the saddlebags.
