I just got back from a short ride, the handling was great.
I got a 25 mile round trip ride close to home that was resurfaced this summer and full of twisties, great place to squeeze in every once of riding I can before the white stuff falls....
Not sure if it is the seat or what, but this ride sits higher than the Heritage did, I suspect it just the difference in the models, but I was to low on the Heritage anyway, and I don't rub my floor boards on the RG, as I do love the TWISTIES!!!!!
The seat does sit higher (I have a Fat Boy as well as the RG) but that is an easy fix. I have Danny Gray "Big Solo's" on both.
And you will be draggin' the foot-boards soon enough...

You may be right about draggin the boards, but it looks like the crash bars would hit before the floor boards. I may get a friend to help me gently lay it over to see. Of course just because the bars hit when it is gently laid over, doesn't mean that is what happens when throttling through a tight one.
