Glad to hear you are doing well. I have both bikes and in my opinion
off the showroom floor the Raider is much more comfortable than the Road*.
The stock seat on the Raider never hurt like the Road*, but if you are under 6' the handle bars are a stretch. My wife has ridden the Raider 200 miles in one day and never complained about discomfort. I have changed a few things for her that helped her to even enjoy her ride even more like a Corbin seat and floorboards.
That being said I would still choose my Road* over it, because to me the Raider is an awesome ride, but the Road* makes me grin every time I ride it.

good to see you getting better, i got to ask did you ask what the buy out is for your bike from the insurance company? if the engine and transmission are still good i would be looking for an after market frame and doing a custom build.

All I really care about is that you're still here and you'll be riding with us again!

You know we're all about the Roadstars, but noone here cares what you ride as long as you ride. Now, if it was me, I'd probably go for another Roadstar because I've gotten to know them so well. Less to re-learn. Besides, I love the way they feel on the road.

if it were me as long as the drive train is good get an after market roadie frame it'd save some money in the long run and you can still use alot of your stock/aftermarket parts. But that is just my opinion.
