Default FLSTC review

Was at High Desert HD in Boise (actually, Meridian) a few weeks ago
checking out several new models, and the only one that flipped my
switch, so to speak, was the FLSTC.
&nbsp\\;
Was wondering how it compared to the FLHR as a touring steed, and
pretty much found my answer in this road test which gives a glowing
review. Thought I might as well include the link for&nbsp\\;yawl:

&nbsp\\;
Am planning to rent a FLSTC later this summer ($159 day) as it has
been a few years since I last rode one belonging to a friend.

I've had 3 Heritages, at present I have a new 2008.&nbsp\\; I sold my 05 Ultra and went back to the Heritage.&nbsp\\; Was out your way in Salmon last year and am coming out again this year from Maryland. Good luck on your choice.

If you're gonna be in Salmon, you absolutely must do US-12 (Lolo Pass) btw Lolo, MT
and Kooskia, ID. Bud of mine has '99 FLSTC (still has it) and '04 EGC, but confided to
me that he was underwhelmed by the bagger and *loves* his HS.

I've travelled Lolo Pass many times when I hunted with an Outfitter out of Elk City.&nbsp\\; Have never ridden it on my bike but I will.&nbsp\\; I'll pass RT 12 on my way from Missoula to Salmon.&nbsp\\; Idaho has always been my favorite state, have hunted there for 32 years.&nbsp\\; Go buy that Heritage, great bike.
