Awesome bike and I remember you having the Fat Bob and Heritage? and trading for the Fat Boy.
I traded my Fat Bob for the RK Special myself last week. To me the 107 in the touring feels quicker than the 114 in my Fat Bob.

Congrats on your RK Special!
I had a Fat Bob and a Breakout, Street Glide and the Breakout and the Deluxe and the Breakout. I traded the Deluxe and Breakout for the Fatboy and then traded the Fatboy for the Road King.
I think I have the right bike now!! I love it so far. I'm just hoping I don't have the sumping or transfer issues. My manufacture date is 3-18 so I think I have the latest oil pump.

M8 softail I just saw that color in person today and it is awesome! I also just traded my 18 fatboy for a Roadking special. I liked the fatboy but really wanted a bike for some trips with handbags. I wish I could of kept both but no need. And I would agree the 107 feels snappy.
