Default Road King Special, now thats one nice touring bike.
No studs on the seat, no enourmous fender, with stretched out bags, nacelle and blacked out. Just wow.

I agree its a nice looking bike, but I'd take my 14 RK on the road with its windshield & running lights any day over that.

One has a low crash bar and the other has a traditional high one. Which one is stock?

Not impressed. They leave of the running lights,fender trim,chrome, & windsheild, then charge you MORE money for it. Not into the "trendy" stretched bags or non-16" wheels. I would take the standard model hands down over it.

I seems more like a bar hopping bike to me. I'll stick with the standard Road King.

Remember what every Street Glide owner knows:

Less costs more

I mean less is more
