Softail are just different from everything else Harley makes and that is a fact. You have to decide what it is you want. Many motorcycle manufactures make a counterbalanced v twin engine but their is only one softail like the Harley softails. There has been a resent thread on counterbalanced vs rubber mounted see below link

I'm riding 150 miles a day on a 110b cvo deluxe. I got some gel gloves and have no issues. I've had many touring bike and loved them all but love the softail the most.
In short, get the bike you like. I think a slim with a fairing looks awesome.. Add some bags and you got a street glide slammed.. 😊

I have a balanced Heritage and am very pleased with it. I've ridden non-stop between gas fill-ups to Sturgis at high speeds with no noticeable buzzing or anything else. Never a problem with tingling hands like I had on other rides. Try the different bikes and get what you like.
