One of the great things about a Road King is how versatile they are. So many ways to improve/upgrade and set them apart from others like them. One of the first things I would suggest is an LRS shield. Much better protection without having to look through the shield.

Now what about that username???

Congrats, Oh yeah you are gonna love it. I made the switch last year from FLSTC to a FLHXS. You did good.

Congrats on the new ride. All of the touring bikes are a great choice.

This is my 6th 2018 and my 3rd road king. I have had over 20 Harleys. I just saw this one and loved the paint scheme and decided to get it. I do plan on keeping it a long time since I am getting older.

I was just asking because i am thinking of switching to a softail because the touring bikes are getting to be a choir for me with a bad hip and knee. I dont want to go to a trike at 45 lol.
