So the Sportster is not as reliable as you thought? Heritage is not on my list and the I agree with you on the Super Glide but mid controls ain't for me.

You posted it in the DYNA section....Obviously you wanted a DYNA.
Sportster is the most reliable bike Harley makes.

I would say it depends on your persons size. The Fat Bob feels like a bigger bike to me. I am 5'-4“ and sat on the Wide Glide and it felt much lighter and a better fit. If you're a bigger guy, then I would think the Fat Bob, but that's just my opinion.
