Looking at getting a new ride. I was looking hard at the road king custom, but have changed my mind and am looking at a springer classic. Any feed back on the handling (or lack there of) greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the forum. I was talking to a salesman at a dealer and he said his dad had a springer and it rode great, no wobble at high speed's on the interstate and the ride was very smooth, personally I think they look great, so what are you waiting for, go get it.
Couldnt wail any longer, went and did the deal. Will be ready tommorow afternoon sometime. I got the injected model in Two-tone vivid black and lava red sunglo. They are adding some leather saddles...white walls...slip on mufflers with fishtails...and some chrome goodies I am looking into brake calipers as well...the single out front is not very reassuring. Pretty excited to say the least.

Howdy, if you're interested, in the April issue of American Iron, they did a road test of the Classic Springer. Might give you a little more info on the bike.
