I did Sturgis a couple of time on my FXDL (685 mile days) and it was comfy as could be.
Any of them can be set up to be quite cozy, it just comes down to the creature comforts that we go without on the non bagger bikes.

I can't imagine going back and giving up the hand controls for the tunes, the cruise, the fairing, etc.......

 

I've done it on a Street Bob - about 1k miles each way. Can't wait to try it on the King!!!

 

Remember when all the other kids got on the BIG bus and then the little bus came for you? That's why! Congratulations! your hips and back will thank you!

 

Congrats man, stay safe.

 

Bagger all the way!!!

 

You got that right Harrycap

 

I've done 3 4000ish mile trips with 600+ mile days on a XL1200 (sportster) in my early 20s. I was 6' and 220 lbs then... I'm not claiming to be smart, but having ridden that bike and slowly making my way to touring over that last 15 years, I'm getting smarter.

But your point holds true for me, I ain't heading back anytime soon, although, I may add a dyna to the fleet at some point.

 

Same reason nobody moves north to retire!!

 

Did the same thing Harry, '04 Low Rider to a '11 Ultra Classic Peace Officer Special Ed., found it in May with 3400 miles on it and couldn't say no, actually my wife made the decision for her comfort while riding during the winter in Florida. I'm 64 so I guess mine is an old man's bike !

 

Me too! I went from a dyna low rider to an ultra, no comparison! For me its the stereo and cruise that makes all the difference in the world!!
