Comfortable Harley - need opinion

Guys, I own an 08 Rocker and got a back injury a couple of months back. I came to a conclusion to get another one instead that would be more comfortable . What is a comforable bike (the nearest to touring) as I can't ride the Road Kind because it's too big for me.

Easy choice would be the Herritage or Deluxe. Low to the ground, does not seem as big as a RK and very smooth. I find it very comfortable. Best looking also.

Yep, probably a heritage, if you want a touring type look out the door. The Deluxe is good too because it comes lowered from the factory. The Fatboy is another model very similar to the other two. Same frame, rides the same, just needs to be lowered about an inch to sit as low as the Deluxe. I believe all these bikes are about 150 - 200lbs lighter than the Road King.

I would guess that the Deluxe would ride a tad stiffer, then the Heritage, because of it having different shocks to lower it 1" in the rear.

'97 Heritage for me also and I have 15% disability on the back from military also. Definitely a Softail model with a low slung-high back seat should treat you better. Think a Rocker is bad? Went on a 150 mile run last Saturday on the Sportster (my other) with Mustang seat.... won't do that again (soon lol)!
