With the street glide at night time I can see the road a lot better with a Road Glide when turning I can't see the road as good I do a lot of night time riding and if you live in the country and you're doing a lot of twisty roads you will appreciate the street glide

[@michaelbiniakewitz2329]

It's buffeting not buffering.

[@im2yys4u81]

@@goldysmith6953 I agree. I did a mod to my light wiring harness that allows me to burn both the low beam, the high beam, and the passing lamps at the same time when I turn on the high beams. Comes in handy at night on these poorly lit Tennessee country roads.

I prefer the batwing fairing of the street and ultra glide for a number of reasons - 1) prefer the look, 2) I never noticed a difference in aerodynamics, 3) closer reach of electronics on batwing, 4) handlebars are a little further away on batwing, which I like.

[@todtalk3912]

My sister has a 22 RGS, this is probably her 4th or so bike. Not a rookie at all. I'm always worried about her, but I know she makes good decisions. Anyway, she lowered hers like 2 inches I think? And shes good. She is probably the same height or maybe 5ft7in max n probably 130ish lbs max? Good for you though. No reason anyone can't enjoy the more comfortable size bikes, plus you can truly stretch out on that sucker, which is so awesome to be able to do.

I have followed you and Mrs. Hegshots videos on pistol shooting for years. Now it is my pleasure to see this review with you - another interest of mine.

[@autopedrides]

While I've never owned either, I've ridden both. And I've also installed both an FXRT fairing and a batwing on my Dyna, and what you just explained is spot on. Personally, I loved the performance aspect of the fixed fairing, but after a while, I started noticing that it was making feel in a similar manner to motion sickness. I was having trouble balancing the bike at lower speeds, and steering, although lighter, was confusing, as I would find myself over or under steering to complete a turn. I removed my FXRT fairing, and the sickness never came back, and my handling of my bike vastly improved instantly as well. It pained me to get rid of the fairing I loved so much, but my ride quality vastly improved. Sorry for the long explanation, but for my personal opinion, the Street Glide would win it for me.

[@harryhowell5644]

I had a 17 ultra limited which we loved. Rode it hard and took many trips on it. Over 50k miles worth. Now on a 21 road glide limited and it has made me a believer. Both are great but it's road glide all day for me!

[@keithmcknight1223]

I have had both and currently own a 2019 RG. I love both bikes. SG I love the layout of the dash and the fairing for appearance purposes. My RG I enjoy parking lot maneuverability, it is just a much lighter feel. I have no problems on either bike, I have been riding for 50 years. It boils down to personnel preference. I would have no problem going back to a SG, but for now I have my RG setup almost perfectly. Engine work, suspension and some other sweet touches.

- Another option would be the Road King as one could ride it naked, with windshield, batwing or a different aftermarket fairing.

[@MOTOPILOT6]

Oddly I've seen multiple reviews where they claimed the Street Glide has less wind buffering on your helmet and body than the road Glide. Even for the passenger. They claimed less fatigue than riding the RG even after a super long multi day ride. So you just never know. I think for each person its more about appearance since they both ride and handle great.

[@whdbnrm3023]

[@tjf2258]

I agree with a lot of your comments...but there is a subjective issue as to how big the bike feels on the road that is sometimes under discussed. I’ve had both and if as you alluded to I’m looking for big highway miles I’d go RG...but for me and the riding of more street and some highways the SG just feels a little better. Yes the same frame and such but again more of the feel. Good talk

Bought my First Road Glide in 2004. The number of Road Glides in comparison to Street Glides was, imo, one RG for every 7-10 SG class including the Ultra Classic configuration. I was the odd man out in HOG rides but I loved it nonetheless. Now, it's swung the other way, people have figured out, hell, Harley figured out , the RG is a better ride.

[@John-ed8ye]

As someone who is 6’3” with most of my height in the Legs and the Arms I bought a Road Glide, after going to the local dealer to trade in my Road King on a Street Glide. The reason was pretty simple, where you want the bars and fairing closer as a shorter person I don’t. Even with the Road Glide’s extra reach I still needed to install a custom seat with two more inches of reach added. In addition the foot position was more cramped on the Street Glide and for someone my size it just didn’t work nearly as well as the Road Glide. In the end I like the fact that Harley gives two different takes on the same chassis. Depending on your body proportions one might feel a lot better than the other. For me the Road Glide was just designed around my proportions where the Street Glide was just too cramped for me.

[@meechg0stupid110]

The dual headlights look so much better then that one singular headlight on the streetglides

[@phenri4809]

I own both. I ride fairly hard Love the Classic looks of the SG, it handles OK when traveling within or a 10mph+ of posted limit, however once pushing it or making a fast pass then crossing back into your lane it tends to give a little shake, faster your going the more it does it. Now it is a 2013 so it has old-style front-end. The RG, a 2015 with a 110" so it has the better/larger forks, it is good for 20mph+ over the posted limit, doesn't ever shake its head, it will cruise down the Interstate at 95-105mph, the SG is a 80-90mph bike.

[@aaron.sorenson]

This is why I love my Breakout, I like speed with out the wobbles.

[@rossdonison4999]

The newer Rushmore models from ‘14 on up have better frames and handle better than previous. I’ve ridden both and don’t notice much difference. I have a ‘17 CVO SG and I’ve never noticed any wobbles. I think they improved things quite a bit.

[@alexanderivanov3456]

There is clearly an absolute winner for me ….it’s Road King These fairings make the RG and SG look and feel like buses on two wheels. You loose half of the fun that comes from riding a bike. But the Road King remains true to the whole biking experience and still is good for the long travels.✌️

[@jaysullivan7620]

SGS for me. I would actually refute your statement about the RG tracking more straight than the SG. Due to the front fairing I find the SG tracks straight and returns to center naturally whereas the RG is more sensitive and requires more input. That and having to reach farther for things in the cockpit of the RG cause me more fatigue when riding.

The fairing is closer on the SG whereas the RG reminds me of a car dashboard way out front where I couldn't hardly operate the radio . Plus the SG as mentioned has all the gages in line and in the cold you shut the vent and are Cocooned from the cold air. The RG has that opening around the front headlights. The shark nose did grow on me but not as much as the iconic Batwing. I actually have Scully air ride suspension so I can drop the ass end when getting better foot traction reversing out of parking spaces. I have been in some REAL crap weather on the SG and had no issues with wind and love the mirrors in the Batwing because my hands are protected from the cold and the headlight turns with the bars . I would personally recommend the Road Glide for taller riders because they would have more room to stretch out .I also have a 2005 Deuce but that's a different animal. 🤔😉😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇲😎👍

[@_Mailman]

Tech tip for steet glide owners, buy the eagle light 7 inch led front headlight, 3300 lumens vs the Road glides 1500 lumens, then buy the eagle lights led front turn signal bulbs and clear lenses. This converts your front signals to white led running lights that change to amber when you use the signals. All are plug and play, no wiring is required. For less than 280 you have 4500 lumens and never had to deal with adding any extra lights. They also have a lifetime warranty. I did it on my road king and my street glide. Soooo much better than anything Harley offers....even better than a Road Glide CVO as far as lighting goes.

I just finished an 11000 mile ride , and used the factory GPS screen the whole time . Believe me , the touch screen being closer was awesome . I'll take the Street Glide every time . Also , just my opinion of course , but I think the Road Glide fairing is HIDEOUS looking .

Feels like there clearly is no clear winner! 😅 I like the extra storage on the RG and the shape of the shark nose, but don’t like the standard bar set up - hands are at a weird angle and too close to me - I feel like I look like a T-Rex. But that’s an easy change. There’s a lot more wind buffeting on your head on the RG at 90 odd too. The SG you can hunker down. Absolutely no difference in wind buffeting on the fairing, those who say there is clearly aren’t strong enough to handle such a big bike regardless of model. My biggest bug bear on either is just that though, moving them around on gravel or uneven ground is a pia because they are big and heavy! You can build up a sweat just doing that. Otherwise I think whichever you go with you have a winner - gorgeous bikes. I chose the SG ST in the end, but reckon I’d be just as happy with an RG. The RG has the KOTB badge of honour a bit more, but I’m not racing mine so happy with the batwing/queen alien esque fairing. Looks just as mean and moody.

I have owned both. Never had a problem with wind. And the SG looks better. To each his own, but I can't feel any difference.

I'm riding a GG now and looking at buying a Street Glide

[@fuirous403]

How big are those bars on the street glide?

[@pv4305]

What brand did your handlebar change to?

[@tommooney5156]

7:41 what bars are those on the street glide???

[@hdnet2112]

It's all about the bars!!! Stock SG bars are restrictive. I put on a set of 10in Wild 1 Chubby's and problem solved.

[@bigboyblue7181]

I've had both and I went from a 08 Streetglide to a '17 Roadglide Special. I'm an RG guy now. I just upgraded my suspension, bars and installed Stage 2.

What are the hand covers on the StreetGlide? I have Yaffe handlebars and can’t find a set that fits.

[@normb28]

how about riding the back roads with the Road Glide at night and can not see where your turning because your headlights are not pointing where your turning?

[@nickynuts8013]

That's a misconception. The RG dual head lights project a much wider pattern of light on the road. So much so, that I have never had a problem making 90° turns at night on my RG.
