People without cruise control are usually the ones that don't see the purpose of it.
I use mine constantly, helps to keep the speeding tickets down to a minimum.
I've had two RK Classics, and currently own an Ultra, and I rarely use cruise control, even on long rides. I don't generally ride interstates, though, unless I really need/want to make time.

I never had cruise control till a few yrs ago, and have ridden since I was a kid, so what's to miss?

2) The rear whitewall isn't impossible, it just takes more time. I have to take the bags off but that's not an issue. A little extra elbow grease with a steel brush and S100 is all it takes. I've let my whitewalls go two weeks with no problems.

LOL. You've seriously gone two whole weeks without cleaning those suckers?

Sorry, man. That just struck me as funny.

You guys are all forgeting something. We Road King owners are among the largest crowd of Harley owners. Road Kings in general are great bikes.

Classic. The hard bags remind be of some 70's cars styling, and not the good ones. Just an opinion.

I wonder if white shoe polish would work on the WW, just a thought, never heard anyone say anything about it, maybe there is a reason for that...lol...
