Very nice bike you have there but I have to disagree with your statement about the SG being "a lot more comfortable" than the Heritage. Perhaps "comfort" is a subjective evaluation. I have driven the SG and do not feel it is more comfortable, actually my Heritage is more comfortable than the SG...for me. Way more comfortable. My teeth do not rattle at idle on my Heritage and my bike is every bit as smooth at 75 mph. In addition, I get much more protection from the wind and elements with my king size Lexan windshield (and chrome wind deflectors) vs the skimpy (but cool looking) windshield and fairing on the SG. I would assume the Deluxe would be the same but that is one bike I have not ridden. The local HD dealership NEVER has a demo that we can ride. The SG is a cool looking bike, no doubt about that but mine is cool too and a bit more practical (take away the 103 inch big bore kit and $4500 in other "goodies"). Just my assessment....subject to debate.
