Default School me on the difference rk vs fxr

Here is a new style m8 road King stripped, inverted, new side panels and a host of other go fast bling

When looking at the frame. It (at least to me) resembles an fxr frame.

1. What's the difference in frames
2. Would this rk preform the same as set up fxr
3. Is this where Harley took the fxr too?
4. Rk in this fashion vs Dyna. Who preforms better?

They didn't name the King for nothing.

That looks great! Yaffe is doing something similar on a King for Bikers for Boobies.

Somebody had a generous budget to play with! Nice!

Those triples, tho... Not sure about those.

It looks cool. I wonder what it weighs.

So what's the difference. Frames look very close.

The biggest difference that jumps out at me is the Road King has negative steering offset and the FXR doesn't.

close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. dimensionally, the frames are not the same. the differences between the two bikes pile on from there (or bolt on).
