I beg to disagree.
I had an 03 RG for a couple of years, and never felt "right", or "at one" with it. It was smooth, but top heavy, and it seemed that I was always fighting it for control. The wife and I did some relatively long (two day) rides on it, and it was comfortable out on the road, but a real dog around town.
Four months ago, I sold it and bought an 06 Heritage. After a two thousand mile ride last month, I can honestly say I LOVE THIS BIKE! There's a bit more vibration, but comfortable as all get out for an all day ride, even with the wife on it. And around town it's nimble and responsive, and I don't feel like I'm going to drop it every time I come to a stop sign. My only complaint is that the saddle bags are smaller than the ones on the RG. But a bag on the rack takes care of that.
So for what it's worth, I will die in the saddle of my Heritage. Oh, yeah....it looks a lot better than a RG, too.
I agree on the softail, my FXSTC, with the exception of the forks and front wheel is the same basic configuration.
After a turn and a quarter on the shock adjustments it rarely bottoms out even 2up.
It's very stable cornering and on windy rides.
We enjoy it very much.
I wish you all a Happy New Year
