It's a bike. You're gonna get blown around in the wind. Buy what you like and don't worry if one might ride a small bit different.

Sounds like you just like buying bikes

I screwed up and drove a buddies RG just out and around for a few miles, he said I wouldn't be sorry yet he is sooo wrong, hate the look but loved the ride. I have a batwing on a RK, would not have considered any other ride until then and I still think hard on if I will just give in and buy one, just hard to drop the cash right now, should never, never have gotten on it.

Rode the Road Glide Ultra and the CVO, not that impressed. I will stay with the batwing.
