RE: OK, whats your favorite softtail?

Nothing for nothing.......went to my stealer last March lookin for a springer. (always loved the springers) They had none.last year was '06, except for the NT.(been outa the loop for a while)They coulda, as they told me; "looked for an '06 from anotherdealer" (I mean STEALER) I said "let me look around the showroom" And allI saw was thin tubed softies.They just looked liked **** to me.Although there were plenty of fat boys and classsics, I was never really into them.Then i saw the nighttrain springer........ NAH, not for me. As I was walkin out in true dispair....I saw the FXDB. I said what the hell, lets give a sit. Bought it on the spot. Im an old school guy. Had a few ridged frames . '70 650 bonnivllle, '80FXWG. (both basket cases turned ridged) But The DB really did it for me. Hell, If I wanted to go ridged; I'd do it again, TRULLY do it again. Not justgo for the look.

LOVE THE DYNAS

My all time favorite Softy is the BadBoy. HD only made them in 96-97 (I believe). Only came in black, with various trim colors: gray, blue, orange, red maybe 1 or 2 others. Front forks were black with chrome springer shocks.
Would still like to own one.

Hmmm... ya left my favorite out - Heritage Springer Classic '05-'07 - Beach bars, tombstone tail light, and blacked out springer - a real retro bada$$ sickle!!! And make mine in vivd black/sunglo red two tone with fishtails, thank you.

Yeah, I only saw 10 spaces to put choices, Figured the Springer option would cover both... The heritage Springer does look old school for sure.

Well, at least you know you got what you wanted! Thats the best way to do it, if your not familiar with all the models. I always wanted a WG, but was having too much fun on dirt bikes and Sportsters.....I still got a Sporty in the stable though

If I could have one from each family, it would be my Sporty, my Wide Glide,a Fatboy...but I think I would rather a FatBOB, and an Ultra Classic. All Black of course. [8D]Oh yeah,Vrods.....Not a fan....
