Which Softail?
Gentleman,
Looking for opinions. I looked at a Fat Boy, Softail Deluxe & a Heritage. I've ridden all three and that seemed the same except handle bar position. They are all 2011 models with the 96. I'm 6'2" and 265lbs. Rarely will the wife ride with me. Longest trip will average 3 hours once in a blue moon. Y'alls thoughts on what I should get. I do love the look of the Deluxe.
Thanks,

Which one do you like best? They're all nice rides, but usually people tend to lean towards one particular bike. I've loved the fatboy since it came out. Love the roadking too, test rode one, but something held me back. The fatboy just fit me ride wise and look wise as well. No regrets here.

It will come down to the one you like the look of best. You are going to end up changing half the bike eventually anyway, we all do!

The Fatboy had the basic look I was going for and the mods I like suit it well. I like the classic look of the Deluxe too but not as much. They both ride in a similar way. I'm not a Heritage fan at all.
