Road King, definately!

Some days you don't want anything blocking the wind. Some days you do.

I'm just not a batwing guy, but if I ever change my mind, I'll just buy one I can take on and off for the RK. Like said above , you can't beat the king for versatility

I've demoed both and for the most part it comes down to whether you want a fairing or not. SG is somewhat lower and with less shock travel you feel the bumps a bit more. And you get more wind over the lower windshield.

Thus far neither one has been able to lure me away from my Heritage.
