Does Heritage have better lean angle / cornering / clearance compared to Deluxe?

I rembember in 08 sitting on both in the showroom making a decision. The Deluxe felt like I was sitting on top of the gas tank. I bought the Heritage.

Quit being Paranoid on this.. I've ridden 41k the last 6yrs on our Heritage and I have touched Down Three (3) times....

Now if U like to FLY through the twisty's at super sonic speed and or have come from a CR on Ur prev bike... Then U may scrap the board some, but if U havent and or dont U AIN;T gonna have a PROB....

I just don't understand why some like to do 90 mph through a 30mph turn..
I know,, I am just to old..

But theirs a reason why there's still the Big Bucks in the woods. And it Ain't cause Their DUMB....

And Yes the Lux does sit bout 1'' lower... so IMO it will touch DOWN a little Sooner...

When my son and I rode the Dragon last year, he didn't scrape his boards near as much as I did; and he was taking the turns faster. Hell, I can scrape the boards turning onto my street on the way home.

I was going to post until I noticed the OP was nearly 3 years old. I hope he has already purchased a bike or two by now. SJ Ron
