I mistyped and choose the wrong words when I said settling.
What I would like to say is that I have a favorite in each series. A Road King (Touring), Fat Boy (Soft Tail), Street or Fat Bob (Dyna). But the Fat Boy is the one that I keep saying to myself, "I really like this."
In the meantime, I'm going to be patient and take the time to ride a few to make sure I'm picking the right bike.
And Captain,
The Keeley Compressor is well worth the money. Do yourself a favor and buy one. You won't regret it.
I had a heck of a time deciding as well. I liked the Fatty also, but the Dyna line with forwards fit the bill just right. I ended up finding a clean 2005 Super Glide Custom for $9000, and fell in love. People kept telling me on here that only I can know for sure which one's right, and they were right. Now I'm slowly trying to get it set up properly. I need bags in the worst way, but I'm floored by how expensive they can be!
