I've been riding a Heritage for the past few years, and have put about 35K on it...
This week I picked up my second ride, an 06 Dyna wide glide.. and I have to say.... man this new 6 speed tranny is SWEET. No problems finding neutral, shifting is smooth...
So my wish for this new year is that the mother company make this tranny available as an upgrade for the softail line.
There are many strong opinions out there about the 6 speed...I think the softtail could use a little taller 5th or 6th for highway at 80 its little buzzy I dont want them to do it cause ill have to get it...lol 05 springer classic
