Re:Sold My Baby 5 Years, 6 Months ago  
I'm not sure that my next cruiser is going to be another R*. Ok, why?

I think my biggest pet peeves were the bottoming out over bumps at moderate speed, and scraping my ground pounder scalloped tips in medium to tight right turns. Sometimes they scraped simply because the right turn was onto an uphill road? And no, the bike has never been lowered... brings me to my next point though...

These issues would have grown even more aggravating as I implemented my bagger vision. Extended HD bags, and possibly lowering the bike. I want a bike that looks smoking', but at the expense of riding the twisties? Never!

Most of the all the bagger/cruiser folks I ride with drag and scrape, it ain't just a Road Star thing.
