I promised an update when I made a decision between the 107 Road Glide and the 114 Heritage. This morning I test rode the Heritage I actually would purchase. The dealer adjusted the handlebars for me. I rode for 15 minutes at speeds up to 60 mph. No vibration or buzzing; very comfortable. Sold! Tough decision but I now own my first Softail. I've purchased a Shoei Neotec helmet with a Sena to handle tunes, etc. I pick the bike up tomorrow. I have no clue how to post photos, but I'm open to instruction. Thanks for all the positive input.

you can loosen and rotate the controls but they only move a little bit.
Move the bars and see how the clutch and brake lever feel. Good chance you would not have to.
