2009 touring models
Trading my Heritage for a Street Glide Tuesday morning, just wanted to say Hi and ask about any issues that have come up on the '09 models or the good points of touring models.

Nothing but mostly good things to say about the '09 Ultra. I went from an '05 (got rear ended) to the '09 and there is a huge difference in the ride, vibration level, smothness etc. The only down so far is that the 96 engine puts out a lot of heat, much more than the last bike. I am thinking of having it tuned to enrichen the mixture just to cool it a little.

Good points of touring models? Man, there is an essay and a half. Let me just say once you go FLH there is no going back. The 09 tourers are the best bikes HD have ever made by a clear margin. I went around a sportster at 105 mph in a 55 mph left hand sweeper the other day. The look on his face at the next pub was priceless. Stable, fast, comfortable, great brakes, versatile, gorgeous. I could type all day.
