I could have bought ,RK, SG, EG.
I like Baggers and gadgets, music, cup holders.........ON A BOAT!!!!
My hole family rode motorcycles my grandpa on mom's side was a Kenosha Wis motorcycle cop,
My dad was an engineer,and was his dad. They both rode
saw pictures of all 5 of their Harleys 1930-1959,and one Indian 1955
I've been riding sence I could pull the start cord on 3 1/2hp engine(mini bikes-Go karts).
And all the touring bikes just dont look like or ride like what I was raised around.
Softail bikes still have it, the look the feel and the ride.
I love my Fat boy ,custom seat,windshield,mustach bar(built in HWY foot rests).
Its all there man "I really love it" I could have had the others like I said but they dont have the same feel.
To each their own I'm tring to sound commie I like what Harley Davidson's
started with,,, CLASSIC look and feel and it 's still there in the right model.
Try them both and make a choice.....this only depicts my view.

If you do alot of 2 up rent each bike and ride 2 up. Then figure out which one felt best. Also how big are the two of you? If you are really heavy most likely I would consider the Road king for its suspension and get the ABS brakes. I ride 2 up on my Fatty but the wife says after about 80 miles or so she has had enough (Im 225 and she is 150lbs).
