opinions needed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hey all. im looking at a 95 FXDWG. always had softail and swingarm style bikes more for touring. now hav a electraglide that i could trade for this fxdwg. mine comfy and has lots of storage. i like to ride in comfort ( lots of miles) how would the fxdwg stack up against the electraglide for longride comfort. one reason for the trade is the fx has a 120 merch. lots of jam. please give me your opinions good or bad.

? Why would you go from a Touring bike to a non-touring bike?
If it were me, I would not do the deal 'just' for the items you mentioned. I ride a lot too (6217 miles in the last 12 weeks) and would not consider losing my comfortable ride. I'd rather do the research and make my *glide what I want (which is what I did!).

Well the title of your thread is opinions wanted, so...
What are you nuts??? Honestly though, I bought an ultra specifically because I wasn't comfortable on a non touring bike for long rides. I would think you will be very unhappy with this trade if long distance comfort truly is your goal.

I just sold my 03 Dyna wide Glide and bought a 99 road glide, I rode the Dyna everyday until the wife decided she wanted to go eat one night on the bike. 6 miles to town and she was done on the Badlander seat. Found the RG and once I rode it I wondered why I ever got the Dyna, The R/G has 95 inch, gear drive cams, forged pistons and 52 mm throttle body. All the power one needs and good fuel mileage.. Plus the wife is comfortable.... priceless...The R/G still has the look that says its bad and does not look like your grandpaws bike...
