The Sporty is my daily driver; the Glide is the weekend, 2-up , traveling, posing bike.
This is exactly what im planning on doing, Im in the middle of buying a XL1200C now, I hope i like it, So Jonny i guess i will be able to yes then. LOL
I have a Sporty as a “second” bike and love it. The FL is way more bike than I need or want for around town, the Sporty is just right and they are fun to ride. Mine takes me back to when riding a MC was a little more “out there”. I would miss the fairing and air ride seat on a long ride, but it is kinda nice to be in the wind for short ones.
If I weren't so tall, I wouldn't mind a Sporty as a second.. I looked like an ape on a tricycle on my wife's Sport, though.
I'm 6-4 and 240. I'm all about my nightster. When it was stock, I know what you mean though.. I put highway pegs on it (left the mid controls and shift with my ankle most of the time) and some 14" Big Duke bars and she fits me just fine with my woman and a full pack (no saddlebags and have done 3k mile trips no prob).
