Okay, pulled the trigger today. Selling the Heritage Classic and buying a (new to me) '09 Road King Classic. Trying to upload a picture, but not sure it is working. It is still sitting in Wichita, KS. I plan to take the bus out there the next warm spell in the weather and drive it home. Can't wait!
You are going to love the RK. I have an 09...first year new frame, No-Cat in the header....Great year....Great Ride
I am looking forward to comparing the two bikes. As I have mentioned elsewhere, I returned to riding after a 35 + year absence. The Heritage was my first bike in all those years, and my first Harley. I have to say I really enjoyed how it handled. I had a blast and put over 3000 miles on it. But, everyone I have talked to says if I want my wife to enjoy riding two up, I should go to the King...so here we go.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but the Road King handles much BETTER than your Heritage. Check the lean angles. The Road King will lean much further (8-9 degrees further--that's alot!) and thus corner tighter and better at higher speeds. You will enjoy it riding solo, not just with your wife.
