Default Heritage possible upgrade??

Hi I currently have a 2001Heritage with 58,000 miles on it. I've been toying with the Idea of getting another Heritage with 103 and ABS. But it apears to that the lean angle have diminised on newer FLSTC with the 103 . When did that change. Currently acording to the sales brochure my 2001 has 5.1 ground clearance lean angles of L 28.7 R 28.9.
On the 2015 the lean angles appear to be different. L 25.9 R 24.4. Also do you think the upgrade is worth it. Thanks for all opionions and thoughts on my current ride.

Fyi I love my Andrews 34 tooth overdrive pulley I ride up often and its no peoblem . Also Progressive 422 shocks w/RAP made a huge difference.

It’s pretty easy to drag the floorboards on my 103.

Yes but it's fun. Don't seem to have much of an issue scraping if I'm not riding hard though. Love my 103 wouldn't trade it for the world.
