I own a 2004 Heritage Softail, I love it. Has a great ride and looks good. I like the "older" style look of the bike. My buddy has a deuce, it rides OK but not like my lead sled! Another buddy bought a regular Softail. He had the drag bars and 21" front tire. I had to ride it home for him, what a terrible ride. I would never get the regular style. I don't know what model it was. I guess to each their own right!
