Softail Deluxe vs. Road King...
Has anyone switched from a Road King to a Softail Deluxe or vise versus, or have ridden one and the other that can tell me if there is a really big difference in the feel of the bikes? I've ridden the Electra Glidesand Road Kings just as a point of reference.

I have a RKC and a good buddy of mine has a Deluxe......I can tell you that the Deluxe feels much lighter and that the seat height seems about 2 inches lower.....which may add to it feeling lighter as the center of gravity is lower. I can't say much as for the handling because he's got beach bars on his and I still have the stock bars.

I rode my buddy's softtail the other day. Its much ligher than the road king. My 06 Road King feel much more stable at high speeds than his bke did also, for some reason his bike got worse milage than mine. Its probably just because of the engine mods, I have the 103 kit and he has a 96 on his both with Race Tuners dynoed at the same place by the same guy.
