I have owned, and ridden extensively, several generations of Harley baggers. Shovelhead Tour Glide, Evo Electra Glide, and two Twin Cam Road Kings, an 88" and now a 103".
After having now put 40,000+ miles on the 103" (and far more than that on the previous bikes) I can say I would never look back. The handling and general manners of the "new" frame are that much better than the previous models it's not even a fair comparison. Mind you, my 80" Shovel, my Evo, and my first "Twinkie" all shared the same frame. 20+ years, unchanged. And it showed. The 103" Twinkie handles so, so much better. And it has a much more useable power band, essentially idle to "who cares". Coupled with its six speed gearbox, having finally beat the infamous rear cam bearing issue, essentially leaves no choice. Good handling, good power, and bullet proof. And very reasonable in today's market.
