RE: switch to a touring model??
I don't know how a bike could be any more comfortable than a Deluxe. \\; I did 3 10 hour days in a row with no discomfort. \\; I could have fallen a sleep on the bike.

I thought about trading it in for a Street Glide for the better brakes, more luggage capacity, and radio. \\; But I really can't see myself on a street glide yet. \\; Perhaps when I am in my fifties. \\; \\; I would go with a Road King though.

The touring Harleys are much more comfortable that the softies and handle just as well, maybe better. \\; I don't even have to buckle my helmet on my Ultra with a 3" shorter than stock windshield.

Yes, the comfort is all that. BUT! Before you make that decision think about the faring. I never had a faring or windshield for my first 30K of riding softails. Now I can't ride without my faring. Once you go faring you never go back. Before I had it i didn't care.

I hear Cadillacs are comfortable, are great for long trips, keep the wind and bugs off, and even have heating and air conditioning!

Fl's seem to me to be actually easier to handle than some of the lighter bikes. \\; Think this has something to do with the neck design. \\; Anyway, though I wasnt wild about them at one time, Id never ride without a fairing again. \\;  \\;
