2022 Harley Davidson Street Glide ST VS. Street Glide Special 

I believe those are a little high or at the crank. Fuel moto post dyno numbers at the wheel

UK spec Special 93bhp @ 5250rpm, ST 103bhp @ 5450rpm Harley love to keep you guessing!

That makes sense. I need to educate myself a little more on the suspension because I have heard it's not just taller. Nothing I've seen has said how it's different just that it is.

@@throttleblip9854 I heard that the ST are emulsion shocks. But surely the special has emulsion shocks too?

Good point. Not expensive to add them to the Special but it makes such a difference it should come with them.

I like the Street Glides, has one a few years ago. Unless you go longer distance or you're a bigger dude I'd also consider the Lowrider ST. I know it's basically what you have but that fairing and bags made it a much better bike in my opinion.

Yep.

Super late to respond but you can see the little cruise control knob in the video.

It has Nav too.

Awesome, thank you!

Good thinking Larry

Same size tires on both.

I'd like this video too

Interesting. Known fact to me, but i didnt realize until you explained it out. Smh thanks bud

Geeat explanation Captain. You explained it better then I could have 👍🏾

Eric, I have had Eglides (bat wing touring bikes) since 2000. In my experience buffeting can be caused by a number of different things, even your helmet type. Every new Glide I have ever acquired got lower fairings if it didn't already come with them, and I put some of those fairing wind deflectors to push wind around the rider. The biggest mistake riders make, again in my opinion, is putting form before function. For example, guys love those short wind shields. Great. They look good but they suck on the road and promote buffeting. I always split the difference between looks and functionality and went with a 10" shield on all my glides. The more you can improve the rider's bubble the better. Good luck!

@@allwrong3114 Thank You for the help and the very informative and helpful reply. Yes I think you are right as I see alot of people with the stock windscreen as they do look good on the bike. I have been watching Daytona Bike Week here on You Tube and only 1 out of the hundred or so Street Glides had the cure for buffeting installed and that is the fork mounted FANGS wind deflectors on that ARE somewhat ugly but reading over 100 reviews on them, they seem to work .

They work real well if you don't have lower fairings and you don't want to spend the cash on them. I had them on an old Dyna and a couple of street glides. I powder coated one of he sets. As for looks... I get that. We all want our bikes to look cool but cool will cost you on the highway. If you're a street rider like the Dynabros and you don't get out on the highway much if at all, then cool is good. On the highway, eventually all "bikers" learn that function over form is key. Good luck Eric! @@ericjames7680

You definitely get a lot more bells and whistles but for 12k more you should. I had to take photos of the 22 CVO street glide so I rode it a short distance but that seat felt great for me and put me in a really comfortable riding position.

VERY well explained and great point. Makes sense when you word it that way. Thank you!

But don't you run into metal before you run out of rubber?

​@@perfectlynormal5729 you'll never hit the rim unless maybe tire pressure is way low

@@derfskittlers6125 I wasn't referring to the rim.

​@@perfectlynormal5729I was thinking the same thing. You'll drag the floorboards before you run out of rubber

Agree, the Road King is the King of all Harleys - please make a video

I would have loved to see that as well.

That would be epic!!

Maybe that’s next year who knows

You will be waiting for a while on that.

@@grayghost1423 I don’t think so, I think it will happen sooner than later

@@snakebite6511 I have a Pan Am, as it is it would not make a great choice for a 800lb bike. It will be a while. The 975s will be next in another ADV bike. That's where the market is since the M8s are now reliable as anvils. The 1250 is very good, but it's no way ready for or would acceptable to the faithful in a tour bike. Besides the Pan Am makes a great Sport Tourer. Same when HD had the Vrod, it never was meant for a tour bike. The Pan Am is everything the Vrod couldn't be. This summer my wife and I rode 2 up through Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Wyoming. Yellowstone, Chief Joseph, and the the Beartooth. It's a serious machine, and can do on and off road, something my SGST can't and at speeds it cannot. My point is, the platform for 1250 is already there.

@@grayghost1423 I would not want the 1250 in a touring bike, thats not what it was designed for; however, design an 1800 or more Rev Max engine for a touring bike and i will be 1st in line. Right now i have a 2009 Rocker C, 2014 Wide Glide and 2021 Street Glide, would love to ass another Street Glide with a larger version of the Rev Max engine in it (maybe something the size of the Indian Pursuit)

@@snakebite6511 they don't make a Indian I like with the exception of the Chief. What you want is at least 5 years away, probably more. Same thing lots of people thought with the vrod. Good luck.

How is it? Give a little review on it?

@@ItsTruble My Review: It’s great! I went from sport bikes to a Deluxe and now to the Road Glide ST. The ST has a good amount of leanability, plenty of power and good looks. I put a two up seat on it and passenger pegs for my son to ride with me. I’m 6’5” tall so the air cleaner gets in my way some, and the bars have way to much pull back for me, so the bars will be changed out in the near future, then there is the exhaust and it’s way to quiet. I would love it if this bike would use my apple phone for gps, without needing a flash or a mod. I have tailbone pain when I rode my deluxe for a while because I have broken my tailbone twice. I can ride the ST for hours and never have tailbone pain, but after a while your butt will eventually get tired of sitting on any seat. The fact that this bike came about because of the race series King of the Baggers is pretty badass, oh an the bronze color on the wheels, tank, and motor is sweet.

@@sixwheelcarlisle8491 thanks for your little review! Going around to dealers now trying to find the best price I’ll be able to get. I agree west must be changed and I’m debating if I do indeed get this one swapping the exhaust and possibly the cam to bring that engine to life!

@@ItsTruble I swapped out the exhaust and now I cannot really hear the speakers lol, but at speed the wind noice makes it hard to hear the speakers anyway. So there is a trade off there, and I don’t max out the speaker volume though either

@@sixwheelcarlisle8491 Went for a test ride on the road and street glide. Ended up liking the SG ST so I got one? 🤣🤷‍♂️

It's buy Not bye

I bought 2 shovel heads. 4 K each. They do Everything I need & I wrench on them myself

It’s probably more the fault of their add on for financing and paperwork fees I used to get paid for financing and the dealership made out nicely. Now they get paid by the banks or Harley, wherever the financing is is done and still charge the customer for it as well .
