She took the course a couple of years ago and learned just enough to pass the test and be dangerous. Needless to say she decided that riding was not for her and we sold her Triumph Speedmaster a couple of months later.

Having 2 bikes is not a problem.
Not having any bikes would be a huge problem!
I agree that it seems like you've already made up your mind to keep the Sporty.
IF and when your wife decides that she wants to ride more you can then cross that bridge.
My wife has had her own bike(s) since '96 but does not ride a lot and sometimes she wants to ride with me on my CVO Ultra but with the issue that I was having with my LH knee I decided last year that it was time for a trike, especially for trips or when she wants to ride with me.
I will sell the Ultra soon IF I can get a fair price but if not, I'll ride in occasionally and we can grow old(er) together.

my wife barely lets me get in the door after work when she starts grabbing her leathers and prodding me along. I usually don't have to look for the keys, she has them in her hand.

I am going to hold off for a while since there is no huge rush to sell. Texas winters are pretty mild for the most part, but now with the weather really getting nice my wife may want to start riding more. In the meantime I'm going to go ahead and do the suspension on the Low Rider and see if doing a couple of mods will change the equation. If is still isn't what I want by the end of summer I'll go ahead and sell or trade.

I picked up a Lowrider back in November for a really cheap price, I told my wife it was either for one of our two boys to ride or I would sell it and make some money. Neither boy wanted it (they have other bikes) I sold the Lowrider made enough money to pay off my truck loan, wife is happy, I like the Sporty just fine. I really didn't see that big of a difference in comfort on the LR, it also got much worse gas milage, even with the larger tank the Sportster has greater range.
If you can sell the Dyna and make enough money to pay for the 1275 kit you will be much happier in the long run than having 2 bikes that are so similar.
