btw; The small 120 front tire works awesome, no problems at all after 600 or so miles. Love the look and did not hurt the handling at all.

My nod goes towards the SG. The Nomad looks great however.

Both great looking bikes, but I would lean slightly towards the Nomad in the looks dept. Tough one though, as I looked long and hard at the street Glide before purchasing a Vaq. Very happy with my decision!

Both good looking bikes. If $ were no object I'd go with the SG but am perfectly happen with my 1600.
Glad to hear that 120 tire is working out. Looks better than the 130/70-18. Is that a Bridgestone?

The SG gets the nod, although I don't care for the "denim" paint.

Split decision. The SG has a slight mechanical advantage (103"/6 speed). Nomad wins 2nd seat ergonomics. Both look nice.

If money was no object for me it would be the Indian Chief, pending leg room of coarse. That's one of the things I love about the Nomad lots of leg room.

Both are sharp bikes, and the Nomad does have a lot more room. The thing I like best about the Harley's is the primary cover. I've thought long and hard about how to adapt one onto my Nomad, but it just ain't going to happen, not enough room for it.
