Default Hi

Hey everyone...

My name is Dennis and I am from McCordsville, Indiana (the snoring you hear in the background is my Boxer Lucy in my bed) lol.. Last week I bought a 2007 Heritage Softail Classic.. I also have a 2004 Honday VTX 1800 that I plan on selling. I really love my Softail, however my wife says she is really crowded behind me, unlike the Honda.Plusany bumps on the road is rally noticable Of course part of owning a Harley is spending time with my wife on the road (Especially when my 5 year old starts school), so it kind of concerns me.. Does anyone know if there is any difference when it comes to passenger comfort between the Softail Classic and the Road King? If there is substancial difference between both, I have no problem sucking up the cost of trading up after only a week.

Any advice will be helpful!!

Thank you!!!

Welcome! You could try a better/larger seat before trading your bike in. Might do the trick. Good Luck!
