I sat on a Lo at the dealer today for the first time.
My first impression is that WOW it was SO comfortable. Coming from an Iron, the saddle felt great and I did like the feel of the footboards, though they would take some getting used to I think.
Even the stock grips felt great in my bare hands in comparison to my Iron.
Is the heel shifter necessary? I think I'd prefer not to use it if I didn't have to.
The salesman said I was long legged enough (I'm 6') that I didn't "need" the Lo and it was all about cosmetics at that point. I told him that I prefer the slammed look on a bike.
I also sat on a Street Glide and even though it's a sweet bike I didn't really like how it felt, at least as an initial impression. I felt like I was sitting on top of and balancing on a beam or something instead of sitting inside of it.
Once he found out I really dug a Night Train he tried selling me on a Wide Glide because it has a low and stretched look (said it has the most rake on a stock Harley) but I told him that I was really wanting something in the Softail family.
