RE: Which Sporty???
I wonder the same thing about the ride. I have some old pictures of the old bike and have held them up to the computer screen (I know: Crazy) and the seating position of the old FXE looks a little lower than the 1200R but similar to the 1200L and 1200C. The rake on the front forks looks the same although I doubt if I could tell the difference between a few degrees difference in angle. The tank looks the same. The space between the engine and the frame looks similar. The shocks look the same length. The handlebars look similar.
I read in the same article where I got the specs of the old FXE that it was an FLH (Electraglide) frame with the Sportster forks.

Go with the dyna I say although you should ride a few before you make your choice. So what if you have to finance a few grand no big deal.

Mine's collecting spider webs since I picked up the 1200C.

Thank you for all the suggestions. Looks like I'll be waiting until the 3rd week of October before either Stealership has a sportster coming in. At least this way (the wait) it lets me be sure this is what I want to do.
You all have been a tremendous help.

Hey Brett, my wife's Sportster is due in Oct 1 at Rt 66. Call Michael over there good guy. They had a black 1200 L in the back that was for sale last weekend when I was there but my wife wanted the Cobalt Blue.
