Default Keep RK or go SG

Hey guys I’ve got a 19 RKS. Found a 15 SG special with only 1700 miles cheap price thinking of swapping and going back to a fairing bike with stereo, nav, etc what are your thoughts only con is I will be going back from a 114 M8 to the 103HO. Thanks.

Sweet RKS! Keep it and get either a windshield or removable fairing and get headphones or one of those radio kits for RKS that are hidden and hook to your phone.

It’s nice to be able to take off the windshield and ride a real motorcycle. I can’t imagine being stuck behind a fixed fairing all the time.

I would keep the RK , if you really feel the need for a stereo , you can always buy a removable fairing and switch from that to a windshield or nothing at all . I myself love seeing the road ahead of me ,

The money involved is a big factor.

Just add it to the stable.

Seems like you have a real "Sophies Choice" on your hands.
