Hello all. I am back. Just to recap... I have an '05 Midnight Roadstar Silverado. I have put on 3" HK Big Straights, a Baron's BAK and had the manifold ported and polished. It runs really nice, sounds better and I do love my Roadie. However, I am at the point that I think it is getting lonesome and I am thinking about getting a 2nd bike. Since the Roadie is a bagger, I am leaning toward a non-bagger(?). I will have some money ($20K - $30K max) and was thinking of a HD or Big Dog. I am kind of short (5'6&quot so I am a bit limited. Has anyone had any extremely good experiences with either? Or extremely bad experiences? Am I overlooking another make that has that "bad boy" charisma about it. I am looking for style, speed and loud. Did I mention loud? LOUD! Thanks for any input.

Good idea. I've often thought of having a bagger and non-bagger rather than changing out the one I have but don't have the room for another toy.

You can make any bike as LOUD as you want.

As for being vertically challenged, I would not worry about it as one can adapt the pegs to whatever 'fits' the best.

Although the entry level for the HD route is higher, it has much more customizing options at a more affordable price.
