My wife hated the road king I once owned. Went back to a full dresser and she is happy. Our current 14 Limited is her favorite.

Exact same bike without fairing and tour pack. Fairing with radio in gloss black is $750. A knock-off tour-pack off ebay is between $200 and $300. Take-off touring seats on ebay are a dime a dozen.

My wife used to call the seat on my old Electra Glide "The Couch" (It was PLUSH), and has said the RK seat is not as comfortable. Maybe a seat change in the future, but, it's only a seat, not a different trim level of HD touring bike.

It is moments like this, I'm pleased my wife wants nothing to do with "my hobby" her words not mine.


Might be easier to just change over completely to an Ultra then play the seat, then windshield, then arm rest, then speakers.. it could become never ending.

best of luck.
