Some time ago I rode my work buddy's Heritage Softtail across town. ...only negative was that I was reluctant to lean it over even a little, felt like it was going to scrape everything if I did.



Agreed. We rented one in Tahoe on our honeymoon and I was scraping on just about every turn from Reno down to the lake. My wife was NOT happy - it was a new sound to her since the America can lay over like a sport bike and never scrape. I hated having to slow down and work around the turns instead of just leaning through them.

And the power was nonexistent. I thought having nearly twice the displacement as my America would give it some nuts, but I was wrong.
