Default 2013 RKC or 2014 RK??

Hey Gents,

My Springer needs a HD playmate.

Looking at a couple new bikes.
One is a RKC 2013 (comes stk with ABS,cruise, security) Black @ 17000+ttl
The other is a 2014 model @ appx 20k+ttl.

I know there are some nice upgrades to the 14 but I like the bags and wire wheels on the 13 and I can probably match the power upgrade with a cam change, pipes and tune.

3k goes a long way (well on a hd not as far) for the "necessary" add ons.

WWHDFRD? (whatwouldharleydavidsonforumreadersdo)

14= 103 Hi Output
Larger front forks and better steering head
Linked brake system
Dual Halogen headlight
New saddlebags and locking system
New speedometer
Better handlebars
And you can get cast wheels (better looking than 28 spoke IMO) or optional wire wheels
with WW tires.
Just my opinion but I would be all over a 14 if it was in my budget.

I got a 14 and love it and the upgrades. New bags, forks and linked brakes are worth it too me.
