Doh!

 

Leg room, when I compared a dwg to a custom. Plus its a better looking bike

 

yeah, i am not sure. i am liking the softail custom right now. forward controls, baby apes, comfortable seat, lots of powder coating...

 

dunno guys.just know i really like my dyna. i would like to ride a softail . no desire for me to change what i like. for now anyways .

 

Seat of the pants feel is better on a dyna, to me. I feel like the softy ain'texactly soft.

 

i think that will be the final determining factor. driving the two bikes will really tell me how it feels and what feels best to me. I just know that I don't want to be hunched over at all. the v rod was killer on my back.

 

i liked my sportster too .


was just to small framed for me .

My '04 Wide Glide is longer than the ST I sat on when I was looking. I'm 6'2", and even the fwd controls on my WG are still a bit close. I have also heard the ST's are not as rigid in terms of frame/suspension flex as the Dynas, but can't say that from experience, just from a friend who has ridden both. I love my WG, vibes and all and if I got another bike it would be a bagger, no doubt.

 

For whatever this is worth - it seems that the softies seem to hold their value a little better than the dynas. I love my wideglide and am a big fan of the softail custom. Night train too baby! Sounds like you are going to end up with something nice either way.

 

I'll jump to a bagger before a softie.
