Just putting my 2 cents in. You need to look at a Heritage. They are a good all around bike and a softtail like the Fatboy. I've owned a Road Glide and several Ultra Classics, the Heritage is my favorite. Good luck in your quest.

Well Sgnden, we threw alot of info at you, I hope it's not overwhelming. I wouldn't call any of the bikes you listed "bad" at all.

Post some pics of whatever you purchase!

I've owned about 12 softails of all eras. I just sold my 2019 to buy my 2022 RGS. I cleaned out my garage (various projects, vintage parts, and my Triumph) and I could not decide btw a 2009 Heritage with 3k miles and a 2008 STC / 105th Anniversary so I bought both. The one thing I will tell you is to me, the 96CI / 6 Speed softails are the most balanced motor/trans/frame/suspension/brake combo out there. Theyre my favorite from the series...Too be honest, I never had a problem with any of my 2007 and up softails I have owned...
