Default Pulled the trigger
Some of you may remember about a month ago I posted about being torn between an ultra and a road king... Well I pulled the trigger on a 2012 road king in big blue pearl. Loving it so far, only mod done is a sundowner seat however I have a set of pythons on order and it is scheduled for the stage 1 next Friday. Pics will follow once I finally park it!

Glad you got the King; much better looking bike than the Ultra. Looks great in that BBP.

When I sat and thought about it I can always build a king into an ultra but I can never strip an ultra down to a king
