		<h5>2008 FLHT</h5>

		I purchased a 2008 FLHT and after 3K miles here is my two cents. I am 5'10&quot; and 225lbs. Bike Handles wonderful, looks great and electronic cruise is must have, but the seat is very uncomfortable and the bars need to be replaced as they are to far forward. I can ride about 50 miles before legs g<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">o numb and pain between the shoulder blades. So buy the bike add another $1000 and you have a nice bike :)</span>

		I rented a 2008 Electra Glide on my vacation in Vegas a few weeks ago. We took Route 66 to the Grand Canyon. I usually ride an 01 Gold Wing, and now that I'm home, I'm thinking about getting the Harley, though I might take a look at the 09 model.
