I would have spent the extra cash and gotten a Trike. I'm getting too old now to easily keep that heavy b**** upright. But, I still love her! 😀

Would have gotten a 14 RK instead of the 14 SG. I like how it was without a fairing.
I think a RK without a windshield and with some mid apes is the ****... love that thug style.

I would buy a (lighter weight) Heritage or Switchback instead of my Street Glide.

I Pretty happy with the choice of my 2009 Road King. it's pretty much every bike I wanted. The only thing I would like to have is a bigger motor, I guess a Fuel Moto 107 kit is in my future.

Road King


Street Glide


Electra Glide


Even Momma is Pretty Happy

I had a Softail for 5 years. Put a batwing on it, bags, etc. I had a bad case of Street Glide envy. After only a couple months, I was kicking myself for not getting a bagger in the first place. Then the Rushmores came out in '14 and I made the move. All is well with the world now.

The only thing I wished I did differently was the actual sale/deal. I would have had a tour pak thrown in a day 1. Oh well maybe on the next bike
