I think it is for the European market but was surprised to see it in Harley's feed. I didn't notice any at Edinburgh Harley when I was there in April, but that was a small dealer.

Other than the "look" of the Classic, I think the standard, hard bag, RK is a much more "useful" motorcycle. I owned an '07, and I ended up trading it because I hated the non lockable, leaking, leather bags, and the spoked, inner tubed, whitewall tires. I lost the "love" for my Classic very quickly.

Agreed...I had an 2008 and loved it except for the non-locking bags and cleaning the whitewalls.

Ok as for fairings it seems reckless , dragonfly or wide open customs has been the top three choices. Has anyone converted a newer bike? I bought a 21 road king special brand new and realized I should have bought a street glide for the long haul rides I do.
