Default I think I test drove too many bikes today...
I had the day off so I went and test drove some 2018 models at my local Harley Dealer in Orlando. I started off with an Iron 883 and then a 48. After that I rode a Street Bob, Fat Bob and then a Softail Slim.

I loved the Softail Slim and the Street Bob was a close second. I will probably narrow it down between these two bikes with another test ride in the coming days.

The wife gets home in about 15 minutes...wish me luck!!

The Softail slim would be my choice, but you can't go wrong with any of them.

I like your choices as well but why not one of the awesome touring bikes? Best bet is your wife would much more appreciate riding on one.

Don’t forget to get passenger pegs, detach backrest and passenger pillion! It can certainly make things easier.
