Unless I take the Tour Glide, then I'd have to put the motor back in, rebuild the front forks, new stator, new pulleys, new motor mounts, rebuild the starter or get a new one, some frame welding, 2 or 20 other little things...

I've had a few off road bikes, but even most of my street bikes got a lot of miles off road. The first generation Honda 750 was a real handful doing cross country in Arizona, and the Suzuki 850 was the only one I had that was uncontrollable off pavement. I doubt I'll ever do any off roading with the Tour Glide. The sportsters actually aren't too bad in the dirt. If you like off road riding, like I do, Minnysota sucks, very few places to get off pavement, and none within an hour or two. Lived 12 years in Arizona, 12 years of more dirt time than pavement.
