    OK - since I have had my 2017, I swear it has a larger turning radius than my 2008 SB. But looking at specs, it only about 6" more! Why does it SEEM it takes a larger turning radius? I know the hood is higher than on my 2008, so it may just be perception.

    6 inches is not a joking matter. It may not sound like much, but it all depends on how you are using it.

    I really haven't noticed much difference coming from 2nd Gen into a 3rd.

    Sorry, I misread what he posted. I thought it was raised as well.
