RE: Softails...really dissapointed!
I agree with everyone above. I coveted the FatBoy for years while I quietly saved for a HD. After riding several Softails and Dynas, I bought the Wide Glide and I won't be changing. Still I wonder how many Softy riders say they love their rides much better than their old "sporty-like" Dyna.

RE: Softails...really dissapointed!
Sitting on those Softails was kinda like driving your shorter friend's car...the second I sat down on that Deluxe I immediately wanted to adjust the seat back & realized I couldn't. Then I wanted to decline the upper-back portion of the seat so I didn't feel like my face was over the headlight & realized I couldn't.
They're beautiful bikes...too bad.[sm=dontgetit.gif]
I was very shocked & very dissapointed...definately not for me & my ridin' style!

RE: Softails...really dissapointed!
I was seriously going to stop sinking money into my FXDC with the intention of getting a Softail Deluxe next Spring, but after siting on it & realizing how good I've currently got it I've decided to do a few more things to my bike (street slammers, bullet headlamp, round aluminator mirrors, braided cables, chrome swing arm, chrome sprocket...ect).
All not at once of course!
