Congrats and welcome to the forum!

So what's the verdict, how do you like your first Softail?

So far, I'm loving it. Because the bike is so much lower, it seems to handle much better and easier. I love how it handles and the way the bike feels, kind of old-school. In short, one must have both. Lol..
My old bike....which I thought also was the best bike for me.

Your right about it being lower and I thought since im 5/10 it would be an issue but I like the riding style.

I lean back more and added some highway pegs...way better for driving the less travelled route.

Got the bike on the 7th of June and put 2550 miles on it!

Does some things better than the 14 ultra limited I have access too and some things are slightly worse off...its a happy trade off.

All in all when I pass an 18 wheeler on a lonely 2 lane road I have to back off a little after the pass telling myself to take it easy....
total blast to ride.

Another thing I found is the heat coming off it is not very excessive. I was surprised.
