Second bike advice?
Okay folks, need info from smart people, please.
Currently ride a Street Glide and love it, but due to a job relocation I may be in the market for a second bike/bar bike. I don't want another bagger - I'm thinking something in the old-school stripped bobber or chopped look, preferrably a few years old to save some $$ would be nice, too, but there are so many choices out there I'm feeling kinda swamped.
So - looking for pros/cons of Dynas/Softails and recommendations on what to look for in a second bike. Comfort isn't a huge priority since I won't be making long trips on this one (hopefully). Advice?
Thanks!

I would check out some older dyna's and softails. I know not much help, but your the one who will be riding it. If I were to add another bike I would be looking for an older Superglide or Softail Standard. I can either one becoming a nice bobber project.

Around a 2010 FXDC. Great looking, plenty of chrome, lightweight, good handling, and cheap! $9000-10,000 should get it done.
The 2010 has a 96" engine but with the lighter weight, it will still eat a softail.
