Ricing 2 up isn't all that bad on a Heritage, I know a lot of guys that do it

I did my time with a Streetglide, much happier with my Heritage. I just picked up a fairing to get me some kick a$$ tunes, if that works out I'll never need to trade again!

I've thought about it also.. The money to buy a new one isn't a problem, the problem is our 07 Heritage just keeps running better and better every yr... now at 53k and not one major issue. (tires, brakes, reg maint, and 1 battery so far.) oh I did have the pin hole in the gas line at 33k.

And Still, it absolutely meets 100% our riding needs and comfort with everything I added.

In a way I'd hate to have to start all over and spend another $4-$5K making a new one mine..

Just had new tires, brakes checked and a complete fall maintenance including neck bearings checked out 4 weeks ago.. it's all waxed, covered up and on the tender just waiting for spring to hit the road again.

Had a softail breakout, loved everything about the bike but for my lady not happy about riding on it for very long. Got to wanting a new Roadglide bad, really bad. Got my RGS and its everything I wanted and more. I did sell the Breakout and sometimes wished I would not have. The only reason I did was to make room. Only have so much room for a car and truck, 2 trailers, a boat and ATV. I see now I could have kept the Breakout and made it work. Maybe pick another soon. But I love my Rushmore RGS more than anything, for me its been the best bike yet I've had.

Nope...

You feel so good behind that fairing... thing cuts through the wind like it was nothing. For really long, comfortable rides...it is the way to go. Photo of me on the 2012 RGC CVO that I used to have:

I've never been tempted by big, ugly, and unreliable. I had a ultra limited and a road king classic and only had one minor recall between the two of them. The Recalled mores are junk. I give a lot of grief to tourer owners because they're always trying to recruit somebody but the road King was a really cool bike (nowhere near as awesome as my softails) and I rode that thing everywhere in just about any weather condition.

I hated the limited. My favorite memory of the limited is the day I traded it in on my softail. If my wife wants to be more comfortable again I'd just get a convertible and keep my softails.

No.

You can have my Springer when you pry it from my cold dead hands.
