Today I got off my Sporty from an interstate ride straight onto a Heritage. The main reason was to try out the windshield at interstate speeds. That's another story...
However, after about 15 minutes, I swapped the Heritage for a Street Glide and repeated the trip. The street glide has the higher windshield on it, a 10 inch maybe?
Here's the point, the Heritage was a gorgeous chromed out bike with a Sundowner seat that was a suprisingly comfortable ride Very nice on the highway, and didn't handle that bad. The Street Glide I've ridden before...it's my sister's bike and has been lowered so I bottom out on it frequently. It's smooth, handles better than the Heritage and has hard bags. She uses it more than she does her car.
I wouldn't trade my Dyna for either one of them. Although I haven't ridden an Ultra in a long time, I'd have to give that one the same comparison. I now know that I won't be getting a windshield for my Dyna, thanks to this forum's information and today's ride. I'm comfortable on long trips on my Dyna. I'd like waterproof luggage and occasionally would like cruise control. The luggage is easier to do, maybe not the CC. I have many more years and trips in my Dyna, then we'll see.
My point is that different bikes work for different riders, and I'm not into getting something because it's the current fad or to impress anyone else. Me and my sister ride a lot and I take my Sportster as much as the Dyna because I like it.
I do know that I will spend some money renting a model I'm considering before I buy another bike, unless I get another Dyna, which I probably will do anyway.

that's one bold, highly subjective, and STUPID statement right there.

cptdenny.....thanks for posting that corbin link. I have been on that site before but never looked at those products. They look good on that Dyna.
It's called an opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. And yea I've heard that cute little saying....remember there's one for every seat too!

They are the best and you know why I can say it so boldly? Cause I can and your bike is right up there in the upper echelons of greatness that can be achieved on 2 wheels.
