Default Another horse
Thinking of adding another horse to the stable. Currently have a 06 night train and I want to add a street glide. Any year models to stay away from? Which year model should I look for. Wanting to find a used SG around $15 k. Any pointers or advise would be helpful. Thanks.

I understand the bagger '09 frame is a redesign. My '11 is great. When a Tractor Trailer goes by on a 2 lane HWY it does not blow you around. So, I would suggest an '09 or newer.

Yes, '09 up. It's great to have a cruiser and a tourer. SJ Ron

If you can, ride a Road Glide, 09 and up still applies. My Wide Glide sits there looking cool. The Shark out weighs it by 250 pounds, yet feels lighter when riding it. Talk about stable bike when a truck passes, with the fairing attached to frame, handlebars not effected at all.
