The SG front turn signal set up looks better, but the back rest and saddle bags just look cheap. Nomad Hands down (even if money was no object).

My choice is the Street Glide also, the Nomad is nice, but doesn;t feel as good in my opinion.

So you like a bike that comes in primer? Here let me give 20 grand for a bike you didn't paint.

Me too.. That's why I did my Nomad up the way I did, SG looks and Metric reliability.

It's not primer. Satin colors look great IMO. People wouldn't copy it if it looked like crap. I agree that they are over priced and that is only because people are willing to pay it. Very nice machines I think, I have traveled on a few and if I had the funds I would have one and park it right next to my Nomad. Both equally impressive.

The nomad wins in this thread. All the goodness of a Kaw with the classic visual of HD.

I know it's satin just looks like primer to me, I would not buy a satin helmet let alone a satin bike. Satin colors are a fail IMO.

Thank you for the win.

Looks great against pearl scallops or especially lace with pinstripe. Needs something to contrast and then it becomes sexy. Very appealing if done right.

And you're welcome. Your bike is top notch.

Both sharp looking bikes. They both have visual aspects that I like and that I could do without.

That being said, choosing the Nomad leaves and extra $5K-$10K in the bank, so it's pretty easy decision at that point.
