Dont worry, you will get used to it. I went from a sporty to my limited, took me a week or 2 to get used to the fairing and weight, now I whip it around like nothing and I am a small guy. Good luck.

Try adding some more air to the front tire. If mine gets down to 35 lbs, I can feel a huge difference in slow speed steering. Like the tire doesn't want to respond quickly enough. I run 40-42 lbs in mine. 5 lbs of air makes a significant difference.

Default IDK how to post a new thread, so I will ask a new question on this one.

Will a seat from a 2000 softail fit my 2006 Electra Glide?

I have an 09 Electra Glide Classic and I love the balance and handling. Be sure and click on the link to my bike pic, looks just like yours except for my pinstriping.
