Thanks for the reassurance.

Also very true! I also disliked the counterbalanced motor.

I was this close to pulling the trigger on a Deluxe. I'm so happy I got the Super Glide. Thanks for the affirmation.

Bones.

I'm not a big fan of the counter balanced motor either, you lose alot of hp, my softail was a dog compared to my dyna. I remember the first time I rode my softail I thought I was on a honda they are very smooth no vibes at all. I think a harley is supposed to vibrate

Pick up a Road King for your "spare"; you'll have the best of both worlds!

Yes, I saw one (FAT BOY LO)at the dealership the other day and it is one beautiful bike. Last year I went back and forth between the Fatboy and the FXDC. The wife liked the soft tail becaue it had a more comfy seat, my buddies who ride Harleys said get the dyna. I bought the dyna.
