I am an older and short guy 5,7in.I have had two ultras a 2000 and 2003. In 2005 I got tired of all the weight with the ultras and bought a 2005 Softail Deluxe. Loved it. I liked how low it sat and the way it handled. My wife liked it better then the ultras, she liked sitting on the bike and not in it like the ultras. The draw back was the I missed the air ride of the ultra and and comfort when riding the interstates. Anyway I sat on and test rode a SG. It seems to fit me,low seat, and the whole bike just seems lower and does noot seem top heavy like the ultras. I put one on order. Dealer does not know when it will be comming. I am still thinking do I realy want to go back to a bigger bike? Then I looked at the SE Springer and my ? is can a backrest ,wider rear seat and small bags be put onthis bike.? I ride 2 up 95% of the time. Will it ride as well as my Deluxe? I have sold the Deluxe so I must buy a bike soon.

I'm pretty sure you can add bags andrear suspension andeverything else to your springer.As far as two up on it, I'm a bigger guy at 6'2 220lbs. and my wife and I had great road trips on my '03Heritage.I thought that it was wonderfully comfortable on the interstate.
My wife really likes the comfort of the touring seat on Road King that we have now, but she never had any complaints about the softail.

I ride two-up on my '08 FXSTSSE almost all the time. When we go on longer (200 mile in a day) rides my girlfriend some times uses a small gel pad andshe is pretty happy with it. I think for a very extended 6-8 hour a day everyday for weeks she'd like a wider seat, but other than that we are really happy with the bike. The bags are Iron Bullet, they have several sizes available depending on your pipes. Hope this helps...

You would be better off sticking withthe Street Glide rather than getting a CVO Springer andspending the $$$and making it a touring bike (bags, windshield, seat, etc.). Better yet, get a SERK if you want a bigger engine. The SERK has to be one of the best bikes that the MoCo has produced. I have a 06' Road King and a CVO Springer. While the Springer can easily handle 2-up riding, the Road King get's you there in style and comfort.

Scott, how do the sissy bar and bags attach on your springer?Are they easily removable? How about the wind screen, is it removable?
