I've found with the very foot forward position, while it feels comfortable at first, tends to shift all my weight onto my tailbone. I can't spend near as much time in the saddle on my 1200 as I did on the 883. And both of them had/have Harley Sundowner touring seats.
I'm looking for some mid controls and bars to get me a bit more upright.
Another thing to consider, while it's easy to put a windshield on a cruiser, you have to be very careful in choosing the windshield height, those tombstone style windshields are notorious for causing buffeting.

That is weird. I rode a Sportster 1200 back in like '09 or so all day and loved the ride. Loved the bike too.
