Wife Changed her mind
The wife was convinced we should be getting a Ultra Classic----Until the Gulfport rally this weekend--Now she agrees with me, we need the Heritage Softtail Classic.
Now the delima-- she wants it chromed out-- where are the best places to find a good assortment of chrome?
Also need good, comfortable seat in back.
(Still got to get the bike, but should be within the next 3 weeks.)

RE: Wife Changed her mind
What!?! A woman changing her mind!?! I can't hardly believe it 
.
There's an endless supply of chrome out there - H-D Dealers - Local Independents - and, of course, the net. Just did a Google search for "harley chrome" and got "1 thru 10 of about 3,040,000" results. Make sure you get a Harley catalog, the big thick one. Then you can be as confused as me when you're trying to figure out which specific H-D part number you want to order from Zanotti online. BTW - if you think a Harley's purchase price is a little high, hold onto your wallet - you ain't seen nuthin' yet... check out the price just to chrome out your handlebar switches & housings. Or the price for passenger floor boards & covers (what's up with that!?!). Once you're bit by the bug $100 bills disappear like peanuts at a bar. But Hey, at least you got the little lady standin' behind you for support and don't have to fight that battle on the flip-side like some of us.
But it's all worth it in the end when you're toolin' down the boulevard on YOUR custom ride and gleamin' like the sun. Enjoy!

RE: Wife Changed her mind
Look at the Road King before diving into a Heritage. No doubt the Heritage is a great bike but for the same price range you can get a bike that looks very similar, rides better (most people think so) and has all the touring options available to it. Plus in 2 years you won't be looking to "Upgrade" to a touring bike because you'll already be there... Also buy a used one...get more chrome that way 
I sold my softail for a touring bike so I'm kinda biased. Found my fatboy (stripped down Heritage) buzzy on long rides which I found myself doing more and more of.

She told me today "Definitely the Heritage. Now go find a comfortable two up seat".
Like the intelligent person I am, my answer was "Yes dear"
