Default King or chopped

I have a 06 Road Glide that I cant decide between the king tour pak or the chopped. Just wanted to see what everyone else thinks looks better on a Road Glide?

I have a o6 roadglide,also, the chopped looks Better, BUT the king tourpack is the practical way to go, Plus choice depends on your travel needs, two up, needs more carry room. IF your made of Money get both. Either way ENJOY your RIDE.

I don't think you will be happy with the chopped when you try to get stuff in there. It looks good, but there isn't much room. JMHO.

In my opinion the chopped looks best on the RG. But like others have said it would depend on your needs. I just did 6223 miles solo on my RG on the road for 2 weeks and had plenty of room, of course I was traveling solo, but then again I have done 4 day weekend trips with my wife and we had enough room with the chopped pack and saddle bags.

It just depends on how heavy you pack, I carry enough for4-5 days and then do laundry along the way. Good Luck with your choice!!!

I don't like the look of either, though the chopped pack does look a slight bit better on the Street Glide. And since I don't really like either one, and would only to use it for trips, I'd get the king and have more storage space. The minute I got where I was going it would come off, if practical/possible.
