Bike swap crisis
So, I own a newish Indian Dark Horse, but have really been having a lot of problems with the dealership...
I have the opportunity to trade it for a 2016 Softail Slim S. I know this isn't the most impartial crowd, but I need some advise. I have had a Fat Boy in the past and made a snap decision to try out the Indian. I like it fine, but miss the Harley.
Anyone have any input. Part of my reasoning for the trade was ground clearance. I HATE scraping floor boards. It scares the **** outta me.

best bet is to test ride the slim. I think its sits a bit higher than my breakout. I don't know anything lower than the BO. when i took the breakout for a test ride I asked them to hit highways and back roads just so I can get a feel for its limitations. I heard these bikes scraped easily. I was pleasantly surprised to see it wasn't the case. At least not during the test ride. yes, on tight corners, and at certain speeds you can scrape very easily but if you're careful it's actually not that bad. people made it sound like it would scrape just making a normal left turn. under normal riding it's fine. spirited riding, canyon carving.. it's not the bike you should be on... the slim looks like a fun bike. go for it.
