My idea of a touring bike. A Heritage is about as far as I will ever go in that direction.

I will probably end up with an FLHX but not because it is something I really enjoy riding. The wife always wants to ride with me, and I hate it on the Dyna. I will have to get one just for 2up trips.

Bikes a 2010, Pipe is a Bub 7. The front header pipe runs pretty high... I couldnt tell you if the footboards would work or not? These Pic might help?

yeah, i'd like to get on a road king (i think it's the custom that has the paint matched saddlebags?)

i'd do it my way, 23" front rim, 18" rear, stretched bags, apes, etc etc etc...

eventually it'll be parked next to my garage built bobber, but that's a story for another day.

I traded my street glide in & got my street bob. I only do a few overnight trips a year so I really didn't need it. For me, it was a good decision.

I am right there with you. I love my Road King, but I do not tour. My riding is in the suburbs and countryside just north or northwest of Atlanta. I hate loosing the saddlebags, but I see a Street Bob in the near future (like the Super Glide Custom too but I want a 103).

If I had the money and a garage, I'd like to have a $40-$50 "dresser" or whatever they cost. I've never ridden one but they seem like they'd be really comfortable.

Since when? They only way to get the 103 on the Street Bob is to HD-1 the bike. Never seen the option with the FXDC unless this is something they just put out.
