I have similar issue when I have my faring on my RKC too. Cool thing is it's like 2 bikes in one. Nice bike!

 

Finally got my 2017 H-D Road King. I am the happiest man on earth right now. I put about 100 miles on the first day she arrived. LOL
And wow the power is amazing and very nice ride.
gonna ride her stock for now until I can decide what to get for upgrades.
As for now I don't think any upgrades are needed. Her Name is Penelope. LOL
My very first H-D Road King


My very first H-D Road King

 

That's awesome! Congratulations. Ride long and safe!

 

Beautiful bike. You can't go wrong with a Road King. It is an everything bike. I bought my 2003 RKC brand spanking new in 2003. I still make a 750 mile ride out to Sturgis every year. The bike is everything I have ever needed in a motorcycle.

Congratulations! I know how you feel about your new Road King.

 

Been a few years since I posted on this thread. Made a few changes since then...

 

100% agree! Kings are a very versatile bike. Congrats and ride safe!

 

How do you like those bars. are they pretty comfortable? I am thinking beach bars or may 14" apes but not sure yet.

 

nice bike indeed. The beach bars look great, are they comfortable? Everyone with apes swears by them, but I'm just not a fan of their looks for my Classic.

 

I really like the 518's. They aren't as wide as traditional beach bars and have a little more pull back than most. They are also great for leaning into the twisties, whereas I think apes aren't as suitable. However, apes will likely allow for a more upright riding posture (easier on the shoulders/back). I do love the low lines that beach bars give aesthetically.

 

Got a used stock 2001 back in 2004 and built this into one of my favorite bikes over the years. Sold it in 2011 when somebody offered me allot more than I had in it. I miss it though.
