I've owned just about every bike...except a Harley.  I figured I'd go big the first time.  Hope I don't regret it.
I have the same bike in a different color, and I love it. I had a Heritage for five years and never had a problem with it. This forum drives me a little crazy sometimes as it is mostly people who have had troublesome bikes and bad experiences with dealers and the motor company. Rest assured there are hundreds of thousands of Harley owners out there who are totally satisfied. You'll never match the power of your Rocket, but the 110 has tons of torque and you chose a bike with less weight than the full dress tourers. Good luck and enjoy.

This being said, you will find info on accessories and issues that you would never know of otherwise. The best source of info on CVO's.

I need some advice on fitting the bike a bit better.  I'm 6'4" with embarrassingly long arms.  Don't know if I need new bars, or a new seat... but I feel cramped.  Any advice is appreciated. I'm going to the dealership soon to ask around, but thought I'd try here first.
The touring bikes, while heavy and tough, are also a bit tight ergonomically. Nice for a 5'8" to about 6'. Outside of those numbers you'll need some adjustments. Taller bars that are farther away, floorboard extension kits, highway pegs. I have a friend who is 6'5" who is more comfortable on his new Dyna Wide Glide than he was on his old Ultra Classic.

Basically it comes down to the type of seat and bars you put on the bike.
You choose the right combination and you'll be good to go.

By the way, welcome to the BEST HARLEY SITE on the web.

Welcome from Los Angeles,CA
and yes you might want to start with bars and an extended brake pedal. I bought after market 1" extended pedal and it solved some of the cramped feeling. 15" bars did the rest.
