also same here. got an flhr 2010 model. blazin hot on legs. and heavy as hell in traffic or in city riding. on the hghway its gr8. but i'd like a vrod better compromise. i have had a '05 and a '08 nght rod special. both gr8 rides. 08 was more stabil owing to the fact its heavier and has wider[240] rear tire. plus had a 5 gal. tank.
