how well did you like the feel of sitting on the ridgeback? do you want to go from a chopper to a prostreet? both bikes are good looking, just a question of personal taste that only you can answer, but make sure before you throw down the change.

Shouldn't be much of an issue. It does have two wheels and the same functions as the Ridgeback. It's more in line with the harley softails. Hope it works out for you.Don't forget a manual(free pdf of 07 and 08 manuals floating around).

the ridgeback...was amazing... the rythym... the ride,
but long island with its cages made it hard... they dont even pay attention to what there doing, thatswhy theridge back is gone,the accident was a girl blowing her stop sign, so im thinking mastiff... soft tail and hopes it will respond if i need to avoid a situation that will put me down... dont mistake me, theres no fear...i learn something from all situations, i have to ride like everyone is out to get me

If your moving to a 300 then assume your ridgeback was a LSD. You will enjoy the new RSD

The only difference you'll notice is the cornering with the fat end. The ride is a total different world from the ridge. The mastiff will soak up the humps and bumps of the road. I have them both and love'em both... :D :2thumbs:
