Street Glide Comfort on Long Rides?

[Emily Smith]

Hey everyone, Curious how the Street Glide handles long rides and faster cruising, comfortable all day or does it get tiring? Anyone put serious miles on one? Some insights here: Speed Riders Would love to hear real experiences!

A couple weeks ago I mobbed from well north of Santa Barbara to south San Diego at 100mph, give or take a few mph going through L.A. I was fully impressed. Bike did well.
I rode from North Bay California to Mexico also. I got the 103 stage 1. Id say that lane splitting and cold weather are not ideal. You kind of have to get use to the ride. Each trip gets easier. Ultimately, I'd give the road glide the nod for going outta state. There's something about the SG that doesn't resonate well with me personally. I tend to like the shorter commute distances more than the multi-day excursions.

For me it’s great — I’ve put serious miles on my Street Glide and it stays comfy all day at faster cruising speeds. The right seat and a good windshield make a huge difference on longer rides.

Very valid point about the seat and shield. They're game changing effects.
