Pros - It is a Road King. Very versatile and can do so many things to make it your own.

check to make sure the voltage regulator isn't one of those recalled. (ask me how I learned this one!) If it is make sure they replace it.

This is accurate. Just replace it with one from Cycle Electric out of Ohio. I had to replace 2 HD regulator's within 8,000 miles. The CE reg is cheaper, heaftier, made in the US and has not given me any issues since installing.

Cons: stock bars suck.

Pro's: I'd wear out my keyboard telling you.
