HDBones, \\; She has already thought of that. \\; I am a big boy 340LB. I have an 07 Ultra and may order a 09 to match her color. \\; It won't be coming in until next March and the dealer told me we could change our minds anytime we wanted. \\; I will try to get her to ride the Deluxe and Heritage this fall. \\; She has ordered the White Gold Pearl and Pewter.

Either you are not riding hard enough or I must ride too hard then, it could be me.
I never scaped my Sportster just because it doesn't have floorboards.

I doubt your word brother... but I have \\;\\\\\\;owned a couple of different Glides... three Sportsters and now a X-Bones and never scraped anything on any of them... it just might be all in how you ride...

A stock Heritage scrapes the boards easily. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\; I can't imagine a lowered one.
I'm not anti Heritage, I had one. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\; But they don't handle worth a crap compared to a touring frame.
Ride one and go into a turn a little too hot. \\;\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\;\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\; You'll find out.

Heritage is a great handling and comfortable bike. \\; And even though its the same weight as the Deluxe it feels much heavier. \\;Whether it's the higher center of gravity or the higher handlebars I'm not sure but there is a difference. \\; Try bringing them off stand and you'll see right away.

RE: Movin on up. to a Heritage
I have a Heritage and a Deuce. \\; The Deuce is much more nimble and easier to corner than the Heritage. \\; In the first 200 miles on the Heritage I dragged the floor board. \\; The Heritage is a better long ride bike, and the Deuce is the bar hopping, poker run bike. \\; The both have their place, but the wife likes the Deuce because at 5' 2" she can actually see around me on the Deuce.

RE: Movin on up. to a Heritage
I enjoy riding my wife's Heritage. \\;
 \\;
She rode a sportster 1200L and she says the Heritage is much easier to ride. \\; We had it lowered, not that she needed it, but she wanted the looks. \\; And yes I can and have scraped the boards, but if she ever catches me, I'm dead meat.
 \\;
The Heritage was more bang for the bucks to us.
