I got the Road King standard for better suspension, windshield, lights and chrome for less money. Fantastic ride and handling with over 42k miles. Nothing else floats my boat, however the Live wire test ride in "sport mode" was alot of fun. It got up to speed almost instant. But 30k money is too much for me.

I absolutely LOVE that saddle. Is that custom or aftermarket? Either way, would you please share purchase information? I have the 2017 with tank pinstripes also. Not as beautiful as yours yet, but getting there.

A 107ci to 114ci Stage III (SRK) will far outperform a 114ci Stage II (RKS).
Check with your dealer if he will warranty aftermarket parts, you can get a 124ci Stage III from S&S/Fuel Moto/Zippers for roughly the same money.
