Yeah... been a lot of people make the same mistake...

Though I still have my Sportster and ride it probably more than my 08 X-Bones...

It is not nearly as comfortable...

Congrats and ride on...

Sporties are definitely less stable than the bigger bikes....I had a 1200Custom and it was fast but not nearly as stable on the highway

Same here, felt really top heavy. It was hard for me to understand how such a bigger, heavier bike would be so much easier to handle.
