Ideas?
Hey all.. I currently have an 06 night train and am thinking about trading it in on something different. The two models that I am looking at are a heritage softail classic and a road king classic. I'm looking for something that will be better for long trips and the occasional two-up. I was wondering what the pros and cons of these two models are and which one you would go with and why....
Thanks in advance...
Chris

RE: Ideas?
The Softail will sit you lower in the saddle but the RK will most likely give you a better ride. Either one can be taken on long trips. The stock seat on the Heritage is not the most comfotable, I found it hard to do more than an hour on it. I just recently changed to a Corbin seat and yesterday I did a two hour ride was out for and hour and back on for two hours and had no discomfort. The RK has a softer ride. I think either way you go you can set it up to fit you. I like them both.

I have a RK and love it. However, if you are looking to move up to a long distance cruiser I would go ahead and move ALL the way up to a fairing bike. I go the RK because I wanted the option of windshield or no windshield. Now I'm looking at aftermarket quick disconnect fairnings for the tunes. I like the bikes with hard bags for the storage and being able to lock up my stuff. I ride with friends who have everyting from springers to Nite Trains. He!!, get one of each.

I GOT IT!!! Put one of those Rifle bat wings on the 'train, change out the bags to hard leather, and put a king/queen seat on, Problem solved.
