Stopped by the dealer today to get some hardware. Checked to see if my Sportster was still there as it was a few weeks ago, but it is gone. They sold it . I wonder what they got for it. I know their asking price was way too high. I was hoping to win the lottery before they sold it so I could buy it back .

No regrets with the Heritage though. I absolutely love this machine. I usually have it set up in touring mode, but I stripped it down today for a detail and had a nice bar hopper to ride for the day.

Jhorra......hang in there. You will get used to the Super Glide and fall in love with it.

The Superglide isn't much of a step up over a sporty. If you had gone with a softail, you wouldn't be having buyer's remorse right now......

I hate to admit it, but I like my Softail a lot better than the 883. I was a bit overdue for a big twin though.

Well...I'm sure we could work something out on a trade...! Just installed the Easy brackets for saddlebags and ordered a laydown plate/signal relocation package from Easy brackets as well to add to the stuff done...

Just keep at it for a little bit, there are plenty of things you can do to a Dyna. I wouldn't mind having my 883C back as a second bike, but the first time I gave the throttle on my SGC a twist, it was like sweet love.

if you could elaborate on some of the distinct pros and cons - for future Dyna riders
