Default What is better
What's better than having a Road King? Nothing, actually, except having a Night Train parked next to it. Got a pretty decent deal from a buddy of mine trying to thin his herd, 2006 Black Cherry with only 19k miles. If all goes well and the snow holds off (again) I'll be bringing it to it's new home on Friday afternoon. Now these next few days (and flights home) can't go fast enough.

Also, get to install the rest of my exhaust (was missing some key parts last summer ), can pick up my new bags on Friday, freshly painted and ready to go, then a quick fluid change, wash and I'll be ready for some wind therapy.

She's a looker,alright! I would dump the apes & go back to the drags & risers, that's what gives the Train it's cool look. But that's me.
Been looking for a nice Train to keep MY RoadKing company in the garage, too.

I my 06 nightrain started as black cherry as well, wish my back could have kept from getting sore riding it. Had to trade it for something more comfortable.
