ORIGINAL: Headshot

thanks for the info so far guys....I like the idea of the fairing, maybe to play some ZZ Top real loud to **** off the rap crap people.....but don't want something as complicated as an Ultra....I like the Ultra, just want simpler....at least for now....I'll probably change my mind next bike. LOL
If I get a RK, does anybody like the Custom? With the small windscreen it would offer enough protection for everyday riding....

The chrome windscreen just throws more air in your face- but it looks good. The Custom is lowered and gives a stiffer ride and I changed the bars out as they put me too far back for two up riding. I also added the SE fairing and the tour pak. Great for touring or remove them for cruising around town. It's a great ride- but I say that about all HD's. Ride and look over as many as you can before you buy.
