NICE!!!! Congrats man.. I guess now you need to update your signature! Haha.. awesome ride bro. Can't wait to see how you mod it out! Good luck man..

 

You can be driving silly and poppin wheelies in no time. Nice ride. Wish you many safe miles ahead.

 

the ride home was all freeway yesterday so I rode up in the hills today to try some twisties and overall I am very pleased. like the way it takes the bumps and the extra power is a big improvement over my 88 inch FXD. but I'm glad i didn't sell the Super Glide because I had to slow way down in the tighter corners on the RK. scraped the right floor board twice in about 10 miles and when i folded it up to look at it I noticed it had already been ''sharpened'' many times before. I was ridding two up and i haven't checked or experimented with the air in the shocks yet so maybe that can be improved.

i posted this over in the touring forum also so for all you other multiple personalities out there who had to read this twice...sorry

 

I did just the opposite, I have a 1999 Road King Classic that I bought new. I have the big bore kit and hot cams. I went out two years ago and bought a 2007 Street Bob, I love them both. I sold my leather bags on the RK and put on hard bags. Have fun.

 

Jay:

You got your Police bike in Bellevue? Last year I was looking at the old Police Road Kings at Downtown H-D in Tukwila ... was thinking about trading in the Super Glide then.

The extra power is noticeable, but I guess I've gotten mine where it's a tall man's ride. The Road King seemed a little cramped. I liked the sprung solo saddle on the one I test rode, but I don't think they all had the same seat. Does yours have the spring solo seat? [Just looked back at the photo ... I guess not.] The one I tried out had heated grips, too ... yours come with 'em?

I like the hard bags, but the round **** seems a little out of place (like it was thrown on without much thought for how it would look). I thought that would have to be addressed, had I bought one. If you take it off, you'll have to make sure you weather seal the hole.

Now that I've done about half (or so) of the mods I need to convert my Dyna to a "bagger," I don't feel as compelled to make the trade I guess.

Enjoy the new ride ... you've got the best of both worlds.

p.s. did you get a windshield with it? I like the blacked-out nacelle ... they have black fork upper (P/N 45591-02) and lower (P/N 46546-03) sliders you can install, as well.

 

Great job!!!! Best of both worlds.

 

hey Priest,
the one with the solo (it had an air bladder under the seat) still on that I sat on was a little to high for me to sit on flat footed (5'9'' tall) so I'm glad that this one had a different seat. yep heated grips and the dealer put a new wind shield and passenger floor boards on while i was filling out paper work. i kinda like the **** on top of the bag so you can access while sitting on the bike. also just discovered it has a Power Commander to go along with the Rinehart true duals.
thanks for the part #s they will come in handy for my deKROMing project.
