Congrats on the new ride. Previously owned a 2011 ultra limited and it was super comfortable especially after I got the hammock seat (most comfortable seat ever). My wife and I did 8 hours in one day with no rider fatigue.

Good Lord, were those 48" apes on your FLSTC? I'm 6ft tall and would have to stand on the seat to reach those bad boys. Enjoy the new scoot!

Congrats, that is a sweet Heritage, I dig the bars. And a hot rod too, too bad you had to trade it.

the CFR pipes are in my opinion the best sounding pipes out there, but you do lose some hp w/o the baffle...the sound is without rival

I did the same thing. I went from a fully decked out, all chrome, Fat Boy, to a Road King. The comfort level is amazing. Don't think for a second I don't miss the Fat Boy, because I do. But for two up long hauls with the wife, these touring machines are amazing!

Sounds like you found a great ride. And don't worry, you can spend tons of $$ on touring bikes too.
