Welcome Jim C - greetings from the MidWest. Nice scoot - baggers are the bomb. Sold my Sporty last fall & got my FLHX - gotta love all the creature comforts. Of course I gotta say you'll hear the term "geezer ride" but having the tunes, comfy seat, boards, cargo bins & fairing make up for the name calling. Enjoy!

You'll never go back!



Unless your old lady is with you all the time, I'd lose the tour pack, just my opinion. Great looking bike though.

The tour pack is detachable, however the OL rides most of the time. I would like to pick up a sissy bar for her and see if that will work for her at least some of the time. On of my priorities here is to keep it comfy for her. When I had my sporty I went crazy with the chrome and different seats and eventually she wouldn't ride anymore. Its more fun when she's happy

Good call on keeping the Mrs. happy, that's the key to keeping the rides and the accessories coming....
