Street Glide
Started on the search for a new bike. Think I settled on a Street Glide '11 and newer. I want to add at removable tour pack (for the wife). Any thoughts on what I should look out for??
I own a 13 SG...I love it and I traded my Ultra classic in for it. The 2-up ride isn't as good but the power and fun factor make up for it. I have seen other members upgrading their shocks and I think that will be a mod I consider down the road. Good luck and have fun shopping for the new scoot!

I don;t know what your experience is, and needs/wants are- so depending..the 09 to 13 FLHX are essentially the same machine, a few slight differences.
the 103" makes a little more power than the 96"...but I wouldn;t pay a bunch more for a 103" over the 96"
you may find that a FLHTC model is easier to strip down than a FLHX to build up...and not that pricey.
this bike swaps seat, windscreens and shocks along with tourpak depending on in- town, in-State or Touring

+1 on that. The stock air shocks are ***** (for 2-up riding, anyway).

Have an 11 SG with the powerpac option ( offered that year) comes with ABS, Security, 103" and cruise.
Kept the old tourpac from my 89 EG and just bought the 4 point docking H/W and the bracket for the tourpak. Easy to get on and off, works good for the few times a year I use it.
