FINALLY got to take the Softail on a real ride
Roads were wet, but I didn't care. Put about 60 miles on her today.
Rode pretty nice. Plenty of power, felt a lot lighter than I figured it would. Handles pretty well too.
Unfortunatley, the bars don't really agree with my right wrist. It was crushed once in a car accident, and the angle of the stock bars was borderline painfull. If the grips were just angled a lit more forward, they'd be fine I think.
Other than that, was a great cold wet ride

Glad you finally got to ride her Schu. I saw the pics when you first got it. Nice looking bike. Beautiful day here in St. Louis, 60's. Only got in a couple hours ride after work though. I am guessing your thinking about changing the bars! Hope you can get some that are more comfortable. Ride safe.
