Welcome home, and thanks for your service to all of us.
You will love the new Heritage, but you will see that I am slightly biased. I went from a Low Rider to the Heritage without any problems, and am sure that after just a few miles, you will feel at ease.
I too think that you can get a better deal than what you are getting. Check around.

welcome back and thanks
shop around, there are a lot of dealers hurting out there at the moment and they will budge....remember you are the one that has the money and they are the ones that need the money.
shop around...if you find a better offer at another stealer you can always go back to your prefered one (prob cause of location) and see if they will not match the better offer.
Gift card is good. they can do better than $100 off the first service, and they can def do better than that on the msrp!
Also see if you can get them to waive the "Road Ready Charge" of $1000. that is bull that charge...ok there are taxezs and such in there but all they are doing is charging you an arm and leg for the oil and quick check they do, so work on them about that too.
and remember, be nice and firm, they need you more than you need the,.
P.S. don't worry about the size and weight of the softail...they have great low point of gravity and handle easy, I would not be surprised if you find that it handles as nimble if not more than your shadow

Don't worry about the size of the bike. I bought my Fattie two years ago having not been on a bike in twenty years, and that was an XB500 Honda while I was stationed at Vandenberg. Within the first ten miles it felt like I'd never stopped riding.

Thanks for all the welcome homes...it's really appreciated. Yes I am dealing with Cape Fear Harley...but I got with the Ray Price Harley guys up in Raleigh and he said he can bring it down at least $500...he will get with his manager and get back with me tomorrow. He said himself that the deal given to me from Cape Fear is actually pretty good...but he can probably do better. As for my unit, I am stationed at Pope AFB N.C. working the might C-130...if there are any other military members around they have ridden one at least once.
