Considering 2020 to replace 2008

Post by dcmski »



I am considering a 2020 bagger but am cocerned about the seat comfort (passenger and driver) losing adjustable air suspension and heated seats.
Questions:
1) Is the stock seat comfortable for 3 or 4 hours for 5’7” 165 lb driver and 5’7” 145 lb passenger?
2) Is the suspension good enough to run one condition for solo and 2 up riding?
3) anything else I give up not getting a Tour model?

I do like the sportier look of the Bagger vs the Tour and I found a bagger that has the factory trunk add. 👍

Appreciate in advance any thoughts

Many find 6th gens don't do well for 2-up touring. They find it to crowded, and storage is an issue. Touring 1-up is good for most, and it makes a good lunch runner for 2.
