go back a few posts in this thread and read what I have said...

you will find a difference but maybe if you take the wife you may get some this time round..

the ladies do like the arm chair seating back there too

more relaxed ..stereo music..vibrations..leave the wine for when you get home..

How tall are you ??? what year are you going to look at...
the 09 is a little taller because of the new chassis design and exhaust that routes under the bike ...shorter guys will find they cant flat foot as easily because the R* is lower...

I am 5 9 and solved the problem with hd low profile shock kit.and a lower more narrow seat up front... called the Reach seat..and then had to get the next size shorter windshield...
if you are taller there is no problem..earlier models are fine

same problem with the 09 Road Kings etc

she fits me like a glove now I can flat foot and I find it easy to handle

the rest is good

as java said the seating position is slightly more upright but not nearly as on a Wing....
and course there are always hiway pegs...
