Question Sportster to Softail Custom
I have had a great time on my 2001 Sportster Custom and making lots of changes to customize it (keeps me busy in the winter) but over the last 3 years with it I feel that I've over grown it and need to move on.
To go from riding a Sportster to riding a Softail? Is thier a big difference in handling the turns, leans with the weight change between the bikes? Is it smoother to clutch and is it an overall better ride?
