Default Feedback Needed

Greetings,

I currently own an 07 Ultra Classic. Due to recent medical problems, the bike has become a beast to move around for me. I'm thinking about replacing it with a Softail Deluxe.

Is there anyone who has done this transition from a big bike to a smaller bike?
Any comments regarding my choice of choosing a Softail Deluxe to replace the Ultra Classic?

Thanks in advance!

I ride on 09 SG and the wife rides a 08 Deluxe so I quite often jump on her Deluxe.
The deluxe is a much easier/lighter bike to handle when I switch bikes I find I easily throw that Deluxe around in comparsion to the SG.


Sorry to hear of your medical issues, hope you recover soon.

Colin
