I have an 06 RKC and have put the Harley Sundowner Seat (with the matching RKC basketweave trim) on my scoot and it is very comfortable for both me and my wife. I also put the RKC style tour pak on as well and she is much more comfortable with the backrest on it vs the sissy bar rest.

 

As far as paint, so much depends what you like. If you want to go old school with your classic I like the old paint schemes.

For a more custom look I like the black and orange, and black and white below.

Just some ideas for you.

 

Here is another.

I liked the Badlander on my first three Kings.
I went with a Sidekick this time to change things up.
And this bike won't be Black for too long. One of these days it'll be green like several of my others have been or still are.

 

Pearl Olive/Vivid Black looks AWESOME!! Or get Vivid black and have someone ghost on matte flames or skulls with orange or red touches here and there...

 

Hello, I own a 03 road king Classic 100 yr Anny, has the org seat, and I am SHORT, Looking for help buying a seat, that would be lower, to help me be flat footed, I did put lower shocks, on it, but still need to get lower, so looking for help getting the right seat, Thanks in advance. Donnie

 

I'd get them to re-paint it the 100th anniversary paint scheme. It's pretty cool and authentic to that bike. Probably not a lot of them over there.

Avoid trendy paint schemes - it'll look dated in a few years...

There's a thread in this forum called 'the ultimate tall rider thread' so you can hear about seats from other big guys.

I am significantly shorter than you at 6'2" but much of my height is in my legs. I also had a Sportster 1200 Custom before the Road King. My Sporty had forward controls, so stretching out wasn't a problem.

On the Road King I have a Tall Boy seat which, on my year model, moves me back 2 inches. (On older models, I also moved you up.) That made the RK comfortable for me. One word of warning, however--the 2 inches it gives you it takes away from your passenger (since the seat attachment point on the fender doesn't change). For my wife that isn't an issue since she is petite. But you may want to consider that. As far as comfort is concerned, it is basically the same as a Sundowner. It is very comfortable. I have about 50,000 miles on mine and ride lots of long days in comfort.

 

Holy revived a thread from 2011 batman!
