would you do different if you had a do over?
This. 
After I sold my Fat Boy back in 2003, I went without a bike for 11 years until I bought my father's Limited in August. My Limited is currently a blank slate and my list of potential mods is constantly growing. Sure, I would love a new Rushmore Limited, but my dad made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

While it probably would still end with me on a Road King, I wouldn't mind having done it just a wee bit differently.
For I accidentally rode a Road King, and then bought one. I've never ridden any other Harley in my life. Perhaps I really should have tried a few others. Heritage Softail in particular. That's a bike I sometimes wonder about.

I would have ran far away from both my Ex-wives. I would have rode with a solo seat and no passenger pegs. I would have kept all my hard earned money and used it to buy more motorsickles. I would have lived happily ever after.

I would have bought an ember red sunglow SG which would have caused me to get stopped by so many people, even HD owners and have to answer the questions..."Hey what color is that...is that stock? You mean to tell me those sparkles are stock? Are you serious?"
Oh Wait! I did buy ember red sunglow

I also love the heritage and was looking and rode both. Several well ridden guys have said the RK will be better for real road trips. I thought about bigger tour bikes but said nah on the fairing. Was planning to go rent a couple and put a few hours on them in the hills. Found a good deal on my RK... here I am

Last spring I decided to put a 107" top end on myself. Didn't last a couple thousand miles before knocking. After talking to the pro who is now putting it all back together he would have never installed it with a crank that had .0075+ run out. Deal breaker and that cost me $11,200 all together. So if I would do it again, a pro would call the shots and do it from the start. Being stupid in my case doesn't pay.
