The new tinted windscreen is available for the softails. The retail is $425. A little pricey.

Hands are pretty close to the same. Feet and knees are about an 1" or so higher. Being taller, I don't like that, so highway pegs are going to happen soon for those longer jaunts.

The Road King really is a sweet ride - just should've gotten it last year and saved myself a few bucks. Another life lesson learned I guess.
