Think you better go with the street glide. You're getting to the age where comfort matters more than coolness. tongue

The 'Glide looks to me like the better over-the-road bike. That, and the less dramatic steering rake suggests to me it would likely handle a bit better. beer

What are you planning on doing with the bike?

If you are just putting around town with an occasional short trip the the Low Rider is just fine.

If however you want to make migratory weekend trips to various places the I would suggest the you get the street glide.

Either way if I were going to get one I would still look like a monkey f@*#ing a football because of my height.....rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
I do that on my EG Classic.


Does this help at all?

Road King for me....

cheers

I have a Dyna Wide Glide at the moment. After a broken hip, it isn't the most comfortable to ride anymore. I am leaning towards a Road King myself when I get ready for a new one.

A good portion of my family rides and we do alot of weekend rides of 200 miles plus a day. So comfort is on my mind.

Then go for the street glide. No question there. Although it is nothing to do a couple hundred miles on a lowrider, you do want to move when you get there....laugh smoking

You know women. Doesn't matter if it is comfortable as long as it looks good.

I used to know women. cheers

I will say this, however - My ex talked me into getting a brand new scooter three years ago - I was still of the Michigan mindset that brand new was a bad idea. A lot easier to rationalize here. She was right about something...

Might be why there are so many women crying over the ex. Going for looks over substance.

Everyone learns eventually from their mistakes...

but can you not have your cake and eat it?

Perhaps the low rider will be the best of both worlds?!

The Street Glide would be much more comfortable for the person on the back also.
