I chose the Road King for it's versatility.

I can go with no windshield, to a Road King windshield or to my aftermarket
fairing with tunes or back in about 10 minutes.

I love the versatility of my Road King.

I like being able to look out on that big beautiful chrome headlight on my RK, kinda like a freight train. Although I am thinking about a Memphis Shades batwing, just for the hell of it...

I love the looks of my SGS. I LOVE HOW IT HANDLES TOO! But it hard to find a Harley I don't like.

To reduce the suns glare off the chrome is why I put a MS batwing on my King . Haven't taken it off since unless I'm cleaning
