After the wife and I done a 200 mile run on my Wide Glide this past Sunday we decided our old behinds had surpass the threshold for the toughness required to stay in the Dyna Family. It had gotten to the point where "she said", Why don't you trade it in on something else. Well she didn't have to say it twice.
I don't know?...That thing is a lot heavier than my Wide Glide.
=====================
Thats true BUT the only time you really fell the additional wt is when moving it around the garage or when at very slow speed in 1st gear when is very slow traffic or when parking it which isn't very .
Its amazing how nimble the FLHTCU can feel & handle for such a lrg hvy bike when you firm up front & rear suspension just a tad like i did on my 09 FLHTCU.
But from what i understand that isnt quite as much of an issue with newer gen FLHTC/UL bikes.
