The WG will suit the taller riders with extended forward control position.The WG was my first choice bike but it helps if you can reach the foot controls. As said earlier handle bars can be changed on the NT for a more relaxed riding position. I also found because of the vibrationon the WG(mild by todays standards) my worn out joints soon started to be an issue for me. Short or tall ? (maybe in between) Smooth or good vibes ? Black or chrome ?

Well you are looking at my favorite bikes, I love them both. The train was a little too dark for me but I now know there are ways to lighten it with chrome. The WG is super cool also but I just had to admit that I liked the clean looks of a softail. I ended up with a Standard becaue HD had not come out with the custom which is what I would have got if it had been out. Its good to have several really nice bikes to choose from, but oh the decisions!
