Road King Custom for me but for the money the Classic is the best buy.

 

Doesn't matter which one you buy..... You will always be wondering if you should of bought the other one!

Buy Both and put your mind to rest!

 

bought the classic put hard bags on .looking into fairing .i don't know what it's called
but i like it

 

Even new a set of Road King Custom bars should only cost around $80/$90. Although a lot of people took them off ( a lot of people found them to be too close together, that was the first thingI changed on this bike) their Customs, so it should be easy to find a used set on eBay.

 

I was undecided for a long time between the two. This Friday I go order my standard. I'm planning on making it into something of a modern day Duo-Glide and I think the standard is a more suitable starting point.

 

Did you go with Wildones 508 or 518??

 

I went with a Standard mainly because of the cast wheels and the wider passenger seat on the '07's. Cruise control would be nice, but I don't do a lot of riding where I could use it. With that being said (or typed), had I found a Classic that was in the custom color, Jake and Elwood Blue, I would have bought that over my Black Pearl Standard.

 

Go Classic, fo' sho'! Hard bags make you look like one of the EG/SG/RG pukes. Stand out, be an individual, join the RKC secret society.

 

I liked the classic, that is why i bought it. I don't like the fact that you need to buy aftermarket locks.

 

Hey UPS, I put the 518's on....best mod I did on the bike, very nice and very comfortable. The 508's are nice, but like the stock Custom bars, they are way too close together, so you end up with a wheel barrel effect (on the other hand, if you can handle that, they do make you sit back even further than the 518's do)
