I'd find a new dealer... How are you supposed to know if a bike is going to fit you if they don't let you sit on it?

I had a salesman holding the bike up so I didn't have to sit on it on the stand and I could put my feet on the pegs when I was looking at a dealer.

Anyway, that darn street glide still calls my name every time I walk thru the door.

They dont let you sit on the bikes...wtf is up with that, they won't you to spend 16000 on something and they wont even let you see how it feels. **** on em go to another dealer. If they are that **** now wait till you really need their help and see how they act. Just my .02 Good luck.

Find a dealer who rents and ride what you are looking at. The seat of your pants will tell you which one will fit your riding style and comfort. If you are sinking the money in to one and plan on keeping it for a while, spend some money and time riding them. We can tell you all that we would like or want, but its your money and your butt. Keep us posted on which one you get. Pictures too. Good luck.
