Seems like Road Glides are running away with this, with the Street Glide owners out numbering the RG owners by a considerable amount I'm surprised they aren't being defended a little more.........

I was paid to ride a roadking 10 hours a day(40 hours a week) since the twin cams came out thru 2008 and I put 80,000 miles on my own 04 EGC since 04 and I just bought a new 2011 RGU and guess what, they all handle the same. I have had a Roadking on a race track and I used to always read how the RK's handled best and the then the RG's but if you could ride blindfolded most could not tell the difference.
If you like the look buy the Roadglide or save some $$$$$ and find yourself one of theseView attachment 138385

Ditto, but change "Road" to "Street"...;-)
Depends on what style you like & main difference is fairing (fixed, or bar mounted). FLHX is slung a tad lower, but mostly both ride the same. Take each for a test drive & then you can do some comparison.

so RGs are beeter in windy conditions which is like 10% of the time?
SGs creates a better pocket with less buffeting for the rider when riding which like 100% of the time.
with that being said i obviously own a SG but i do like the look of the RG, the spread out feeling of the fairing, and fact that it less common. I actually rented one to see what it was all about... and honestly without being able to make adjustments for wind (better windsheild, maybe a fork baffle) i thought the wind was terrible, i was eating a wind sandwich and i'm only 5'7".... I actually wish i could ride one that has been set up for me... i bet i would like it..... My SG is pretty fresh so i'll play with it for a while....but who knows maybe a few years down the road I"LL be a FUgly guy.
p.s. I'd love to see an RGC with a solid paint scheme in that new Merlot color (too bad it's not offered) how sick is that color!

The Batwing is better to be behind 95% of the time and that's what I care about,plus the looks are classically cool. I have seen some really sweet looking RGs including my Father-in-laws Orange '08. However my taste in looks and ride I prefer the Batwing on my Ultra. Sit on 'em both and see what fits better,if possible ride 'em both. You'll know as soon as you do which one you like better.
