the best of both worlds
Your comment about the Softail is true for the first generation of the model, but you would not believe how smooth the new TC88B motor is. My g/f has the '06 Deluxe and it kind of pisses me off to see her fire it up and not be able to tell that it's running, while the motor on mine is bouncing about and trying to break free of the chassis at idle so it can bugger off somewhere on its own. And as smooth as my '06 FXDI is to ride, her bike is still smoother.
