I know this has been debated and discussed in the past but I won't some more reviews and opinions. Been searching/researching online for days now and still am absolutely torn. I know the best idea is to test ride both which will happen come spring. I currently have an 09' Night Train which I will be keeping. As of last season the ol' lady and I have been taking long haul trips more then daily cruises and it's time to upgrade to something more practical. I want the best bike in regards to comfort level of passenger or the easiest bike to make passenger comfort at its upmost. Current owners of either bike please chime in and talk away with pros and cons. This is what I have so far...thanks!
Street Glide
Pros:
hard saddle bags
tunes
bat fairing
handles well for bagger
Cons:
no passenger running boards
rough rear end
lowered
have to check PSI in shocks routinely
expensive
exhaust heat for passenger
Road King
Pros:
cheaper
wheel stripes
nostalgic look you like
comes with passenger running boards
Cons:
have to add bat fairing and hard saddle bags
won’t have 103 engine
Notes
price difference with whatever bike you choose will most likely even out with the bat fairing and hard saddle bag price add on to Road King or with more expensive Street Glide that will come with
both bikes will need to have big comfy one piece aftermarket seat (Corbin, Mustang, Daytripper, Sundowner ect.)
sit/test drive both bikes
