My first bike was an '80 FLT. Few bikes later to the one ion my signature and I have always regretted getting rid of the shovel. So I wanted another for bar hopping, but this time an FLH as I liked the look of them better.
Found this one locally for a deal and stripped the doo-dads off and added some parts that were kicking around my attic to it, the kick start, forward controls so I'd fit, and upgraded the hand controls. I dissembled the rims, machined off the unused rotor mount on the front hub, powder coated the hub and hoop, and re-laced the wheels with new stainless steel spokes.

This is what I am looking for as my second bike. A good friend of mine has a '65 pan and I am looking for a shovel.
If my second bike were to be another HD product, i'd probably have to say a Fatboy Lo S. Unless they came out with a Breakout S. Non HD would be either a BMW S1000RR, or a Ducati 999 biposto in black. Always wanted the Duc since the 2nd Matrix movie came out
I still like softails.
This is the one I would want as a second bike.
A great looking sled right out of the showroom.
The mods that could be done on this bike could and would be amazing IMO.

I really like my wife having a Heritage, which I occasionally use as a second bike. Love the way it rides. No needing a few miles to adjust to it from my Limited. But then again my first Harley was a Heritage. I think if I were to get a second bike for myself I would get a Road King. While I love the Heritage, I hate dragging boards with very little lean.
I was a dual-sport dirt bike rider in my late teens/early 20's. Then it was on to Honda/Yamaha standards and one or two sport bikes from my 20' to
my late 40's (never into touring back then, just commuting and 100/200 mile weekend rides). In my 50's I got into HD's and, having more time for
it, touring. Now in my 60's I began to miss "sportier" riding, so my second bike is now a BMW sport-tourer.
