The 'King rules over ALL forums.
We allow the other bikes to be mentioned among us, but the King is the King!
Bow down!

 

I started riding in 1969. Like many old farts, my idea of what a Harley should look like froze in the 60's. (Just as my taste in music froze by the early 70's.)

1969 FLH (not mine. Couldn't afford one then.)



A 1963 Duo Glide juxtaposed with my 2011 RKC.

 

Todd same here. Had 3 batwing bikes I love my Road King as is extremely versatile I can change windshields or take off if needed. Also much easier to see the road directly in front of fender and handles much better at slow speeds.

Never seen flash on a Road King.

I laughed so hard at this my daughter is just staring at me.

 

'Flashy' probably wasn't his best choice of words, perhaps 'minimalist' (as compared to the other FLT's,) more closely fits what he wanted to say.

At any rate, I prefer my bike in its Road King conversion vs the Road Glide that it was at the beginning. But because it's still an FLT, there is plenty of information here in the Forum to help me keep it running.

 

Truth! I am not a fan of the fairing, and will most likely own a king the rest of my life.

 

75% of my riding on the new King is sans windscreen.

No tunes, no gps. Just wind and a sweet exhaust note upon a swift turn of the throttle.

 

I love to ride with out the windshield to. Only time I have it on is for long freeway rides or temps under 65 degrees. The windshield is not real heavy but it seems to handle way more nimble with out it.

 

Thanks for all the replies and entertainment.
