I haven't rode any of the new Softails in any great capacity. Just a quick test ride. I had a 2008 Street Bob that handled like it was on rails stock. Not really what im looking for now though. I might pick up a newer Wide Glide. I live the way they look compared to what's out right now. The sound is 10x better too IMO.

Good suspension is going to feel stiff. Better tires soak up the small stuff.

I put Legend Revo-A and Axeos on my 2007 Dyna. I feel they substantially increased confidence and handling in the corners/curves but I lost some of that rock steady, riding on rails feel it had with the stock suspension on the straight aways. Bike feels a bit darty like youre constantly putting in a little effort to keep it straight. Its not as relaxing on the straights like it used to be.
The Axeos dropped the front about 5/8 and I put on 13 Revo-As which raised the rear about 3/4. Ive wondered if the change in rake and trail has to do with it.
The rear shocks are like riding on a cloud but the fronts are pretty stiff. Still get the Dyna shimmy at very high speed but not as badly as stock, which would start around 80 mph.
Overall, improvement over the stock is there. The biggest complaint is the stiffer/jarring front end. I havent ridden the new Softail to compare, sorry.
