I grappled with this * HD vs Comfort * thing for most of the winter while I rode around with one busted rear shock.

I posted on this forum and got lots of great feed back and opinions. as well as speaking to folks in tire shops etc.

The more feed back I got the more I realized that it come down to what you want.... a stiffer ride & a little better handling or a little more comfortable ride.

I finally ordered the HD's and installed them. They were not necessarily better, just stiffer.

The only thing that would deter me from the HD's I think is if I did alot of bumpy city driving.

good luck!
