If you have to pick one of the "tree" just make sure it is the one that pushes all the right buttons when you take it for the test ride, and if it fits your primary application, whether it be short trips or long hauls on the super slab, solo or 2-up, spirited riding or long term cush and comfort. Once you decide you will make it perfect with a few eh "indulgences" but hey Harley ownership has it's price of admission, your just buying into the intial rolling stock...the fun comes afterwards. Read the $3k thread elsewhere and you will sense what other riders feel and do...
