Non-technically speaking, every Heritage/Fatboy I've ridden, handled worse than other models. They also seem to vibrate more. I went to York for open house when the "B" motors were introduced, to see if that helped and I'm telling you, my 4-speed Evo rides better than a brand new "B" Heritage. I've rented them on vacations as well. Maybe I'm only getting on bad ones, but I've never ridden one I liked. I'm not convinced that the FL front end belongs on a ST frame. No diss, JMHO, that's all. Hoist!

dOOd,

The attachment field and browse button do not appear for me in this section as it does in the others. Does it appear for you when you click reply?

OK, I plead ignorance here. What exactly does the term "clearancing" mean?

Man - I must be getting old
The only time my bike is leaning over that far now is when I'm tipping it while Kathy sprays the bottom off for me.

Beerman,
That is a great picture of you and your scooter. I've resized it for you for better viewing here, also this picture would make a great avatar, and I've resized it for that if you're interested look here - personalized avatars

Sorry, the most exciting thing going for me right now is having one of my guitars custom painted into a Screaming Eagle Les Paul !!
and yes, I will be just a little afraid to play it too loud !!
I'll put pics up when I get it back
