Need input

Ok guys and gals,

I think that I have narrowed it down to 4 bikes that i am interested in buying for my next ride although one of them will most likely be the overwhelming favorite, I probably won't buy it just because it will need a lot of work.

Here is what I have narrowed it down to.
1.) Soft tail deluxe-07-newer
2.) Heritage 02 with 17k and looks like a deluxe (white walls)
3.) Crossbones
4.) 56 K model.

Other than the k model, the other 3 are very similar to each other. What is everyone's opinion? What are your reasons for your choice?

All are softails except the k model.

Why do you choose that bike over the others?

Y?

#2, but dump the whitewalls. Looks good, rides nice, low but not too low like the deluxe.
decent handle bars, nice bags.

I would pick the 56 k. It's the same age as me. It's a way cool part of history. You won't see to many others on the road.

Of course, I choose #1

I actually like the way the Deluxe rides over the Heritage....plus deluxe can be personalized easier than Heritage (they all look the same). #3 only if looking for bar hopper...

I demo'ed the crossbones last year and liked the handling but didn't care for rear fender setup and the flip seat for the pass.
I's opt for the hertiage - it's good for local runs and will do well on crosscountry runs also - very comfortable ride for the long haul.

I'd go with the #1 for the same reasons as Chuck 'n Chrome - especially since you're set on the Softail suspension - as you can personalize it to whatever you ultimately want easier/cheaper.

If you never want to do any modifying, then I'd say #2 or #3.

The '56 K is a great 2nd bike, but I personally wouldn't want to ride something like that too much unless I had the shop/parts/skill to keep her running.

I love girls, but I think that my wife might get upset.

I would have to agree with the ones that say that the X-Bones would make a great tooling around bike. That is not what I am looking for. I do like the the 56, but this bike would be one that would get restored and then sit in the garage. So this leaves the Deluxe and the Heritage. I like the both of them, but the Heritage seems to be what I like to call "cookie cutter". Pretty much everyone that I have seen, all look a like to me. They are nice, but as someone had said, the colors that they usually are in are kind of boring. I guess I am leaning towards the Deluxe because I see nothing but COMPLETE CUSTOM written all over it. I have thought about putting a set of hard bags on it, with fish tails along with a nice set of apes. I would probably leave the white walls though.
