Its hard to choose I sometimes feel i wish i would have stayed with the dynas when i want to ride hard. I just picked up an sporty and Ive been finding myself riding that way more now just alot more fun. If your looking at getting one look for a newer used a 05 you can get for a lot less now with hardly any miles. the upside to the softails are there are tons of cheap parts out there on ebay you can save a ton for.

I think that the Deluxe seat is basically quite comfortable. But my experience and from what I've heard from others is that after a certain amout of time during a long ride the seat deforms and you end up sitting on the frame. For that reason many have the stock seats restuffed with memory foam or other cushion products. I plan to do my Deluxe seat this winter.

Question why don't Harley just let us come in and just order from a catalog everything we want and then build the bike... Like Dell does with their computers...[sm=biker.gif]

i have a 05 deluxe & had problems with long hauls because of back problems, found out the springer seat rail will bolt right on the deluxe, which gives you an option to buy a drivers backrest pad. i found a good deal on a used springer seat whick came with a seat rail & tall backrest pad & passenger pillion. only thing is the passenger pillion wont work , the luggage rack is in the way . but i can still use the stock passenger pillion for the deluxe . the springer seat is sooooo much more confortable. if you like the deluxe this option sure helped me out ,for about $250 .
