I was able to take twisties that I was familiar with 10/15 mph faster. Ya that lead to more scraping LOL
ENJOY THE RIDE

Stick with your Heritage, a couple friends and myself took a 3 day weekender last year, I rode an RK and RG. Put it this way, after a about 150 miles and fuel stop they weren't ready to give my Heritage up. I liked both the touring bikes, but I was ready to get back on mine. I could feel the added weight in maneuvering, but I'm sure I would've become comfortable spending more time on either, the seat was like a brick but then I had mine modified by Mean City Cycles. I did like the fairing upfront on the RG which prompted me to order a Reckless for m bike, it definitely provided more wind protection. All
in all I'll keep my FLSTCI around a few more years.

Question to my fellow softail owners.
I have always owned softails. My current 2019 Heritage 114, I truly enjoy this bike especially over my earlier year Heritages. The handling of my 2019 is great, easy to maneuver around in tight spots, suspension much improved. I generally ride back roads of NC and go on 4/5 day trips which include some pretty good twisties.
I’m considering buying a Street Glide . It’s only 100 heavier than the Heritage but some folks say it’s top heavy over the Heritage and handling isn’t as nimble.
I’m 66yrs old with a full hip replacement which is great, no issues .
Soooooo, has anyone owned a Street Glide that can give me comparisons between these two bikes.
I’ve talked to dealers but I know they want to sell bikes. I’m looking for a non bios opinions from street glide owners who also owns or have owned Heritage too.
BIG THANKS
ENJOY THE RIDE
