Buyer's Remorse: RESOLVED!
I went back to thedealership today to look at other bikes. And when I did, I discovered that, for the money, the Sporty was a really good buy. To get all the mods I have on the Sporty would cost me a couple thousand more, for what would really be not that much more bike.
I guess I just needed to re-assure myself that I made the right decision. Having done so, and looked at the alternatives, I'm satisfied.
Maybe, when I'm ready for a bagger, I'll go back. Bu for now, I think I did OK.
I'll probably think that even more once I get through the break-in, and put a Stage 1 kit on the Sporty. The bike should really rock then.

My friend got a good corbin seat for his 1200c and put the quick release winshield on it. He went for a 380 mile ride with me the other day.. he had no complaints. The only thing he said is that he can't really go two up on it for much distance because the suspension isn't made for that. So I'd say if you are the only one riding that you'll be fine regardless of whatever distance you want to go.

RE: Buyer's Remorse: RESOLVED!
dale I was going to add something to your prior post but somethingkept telling me not to.i had a feeling you would get to know and love your bike like i do.Do I ever think about a different one?hell yes I do but people are never satisfied with what they have.They always want more or something different.If you did buy a Dyna you may be wishing for a Sporty now if you know what I mean.If you ever get near Pittsburgh Pa look me up I will ride with you.I knnow that is a hell of a cruise from where you are at though.I must sayI like the new rocker but it is out of my reach right now.Maybe someday but my Sporty takes good care of me for now.It's the second one I bought brand new.My wife also has one so the fun is doubled.Ride free my freind and your bike doesn't look like a bagger to me but a well equipped freind that travels with you.

RE: Buyer's Remorse: RESOLVED!
i had the same concern, but you have a blank canvas,,,,not much you cant do with the sporty.....yeah touring may be a different way of thinking...but i can honestly say im not getting rid of mine....i can see adding a Road King to my stable but the sporty ill keep for easy commutes....poker runs...and just plain fun....1st Sporty i ever rode is the one i bought.....i had a serious wake up call....especialy when i let the clutch out a tad fast and the bike almost threw me off the back.....now with the cycle shack pipes.....hehe.....it feels and sounds like a bad *** bike.....im diggin it...
enjoy
