  The Road Glide has a shark-nose fairing, which is narrower and longer than the Street Glide's bat-wing fairing.
  
  

Fairing Mount

• The Street Glide's fairing, similar to the Electra Glide, is mounted to the front end. When the handlebars are turned, the fairing turns. On the Road Glide, the fairing is mounted to the frame and stays stationary when the handlebars are turned. Some riders feel that the Road Glide is easier to handle in windy conditions because of the frame mount.
  
  

Lighting

• The Road Glide has a dual front headlight, while the Street Glide has a traditional single headlight.
  
  

Dimensions

Paint

• The Road Glide Custom is available in three colors for 2010. The Street Glide has seven color options.
