All Harley's are cool and there's a "coolness" sensor in the seat. If the bike sensed you're not cool it performs accordingly so you don't buy it. Guess you'll never own one...sorry...

Didn't like the Heritage handlebars and the seat made me feel like I was sitting on top of the bike not in it. Stripped everything off but the windshield (no buffeting here) and replaced seat, handlebars and lowered the rear. Nice loud Vance and Hines pipes completes the picture. I don't think you'd mistake it for a 'geezer' bike.

Road King Classic.
Come with removable windshield and saddlebags.
Take them off and you have a Fat Boy with attitude

This ain't a bad thing but the old saying applies here:

"If I have to explain it to ya then you probably won't understand it"

Ride what makes you feel good, that's what l do..

Was the test ride on a new or used bike?
Ride'em all and see what fits.

Find a dealer that is having a demo days and ride all the models. It also sounds like you are looking for more of a Street glide then a softail.
