not to hijack.. but yes smoothness is def. different compared to the Dyna.. my wife's dyna smooths right out with those rubber mounts.. mine has a "fine vibration" at about 60+ in the grips.. no other way to describe it.

but... I'd never change lol.

I traded my 2009 Street Glide in for a 2010 Heritage and never regretted it. It is the smoothest, most comfortable bike I have owned. Welcome to the world of the softie….

I love the softails. I recently traded my Heritage for CVO Softail Convertible and I like the way they feel.

Thx guys. Haven't had her up to very high speed due to still breakin her in. Knees in the breeze has some awesome bags. What kind pleze? I had leather pro on my fxdl and loved them. Probably go back with the ones they have for the deluxe. Still like knees bags. Looks rommy.

Detachable Softail Deluxe Solo Saddlebags

http://hogdeluxe.com/products.htm

Top quality product. If you need them quickly for get it but if you have patience they will be worth the wait. I love mine, plenty of room and are mounted close to the rear fender due to the recessed Easy Brackets.

You are going to enjoy your bike more each time you take her out. I know I do.
