Default Big Test for the Springer Classic

After working on it all winter getting it pretty, would I be glad I traded my Dyna in for this beautiful bike?
&nbsp\\;
Well for the first real big ride I have had it on, I did 1700 miles of the 4th of July weekend.&nbsp\\; From Olympia, Wa to Billings, MT and back.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
I have to admit the springer with 12 1/2 apes was so much more comfortable ride than the dyna ever was.&nbsp\\; I had a blast and ended up with a slightly sunburned face, but a great big smile at the end of it.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
So for those that said the Springer classic was uncomfortable I beg to differ, stock seat btw.&nbsp\\; The only difference in ride was the bars.&nbsp\\;

I just bought one with 16" apes. It is also very comfortable on long trips, but I may put 12.5 or 14's on it.
