The old lady and i are looking for a new ride, she likes the roadking and i like the heritage springer, (i know they dont make the heritage springer any more.)
will the springer be as good for two up riding as the roadking, we dont do alot of touring, mostly day trips, 100 miles at the most. I do more riding by myself.

I guess i knew that, i love the look of the roadking, ever since i was a kid and my dad had his 81 flh,(peas and carrots) my thing is everyone has a road king or an electra glide. I want something unique. I was even thinking of getting a shovle and rebuilding it just to be unique, i cant tell you the last time i saw a shovle head up here, even the evos are getting few and far between.
I personally love the look of the Heritage Springer also and wanted one, but I was going to be doing 2 up riding and so I bought a Road King Classic. Gotta say, I love the bike.
for the amount of two up riding he's planning on doing , does it really make a difference ?
lots of people do two up on a heritage . ok it's not THE best bike for it but it isn't the worst by a long shot . hell you can ride with your OL on a sportster if all you're going to do is 100 miles there , have lunch and then 100 miles back .
go ask the same question in the softail forum and see what you get
