Road King sells better overseas but here in the US it's one of the slow selling bike and since SG came out it killed the King's market.

When I bought my 2017 RK from Riverside Harley it came with white walls and spoked wheels!

Back in 2002, the first year of the Delphi FI the RKC were really hard to find on a showroom floor. Now, 15 years later they aren't available in the U.S. !! Don't get me wrong, I like the SG....but...





Here's hoping the RK and the RKC are always around.

Have a 14' RK and for ascetics, I bought the 13' and older bags, (which need a slight mod on the underside rail mounts) and RKC seat. Kept the hard bags, and stock seat. Best of both worlds.
