When I rented an 07 FLHX out in Tucson, AZ several years ago. I have a 2k Softail Standard and noticed a HUGE difference at idle. Rolling down the road it's smoother than the softail I think.
Maybe it's my imagination I don't know but one of the first things I noticed when I bought and rode my 2010 FLHX is that it seemed not to to that as bad.....
IS it my imagination? Or did they do something to lessen that on the '10s?
Anyone know? Maybe I don't notice/care as much since this one is MINE! and the other one was a rental? LOL
