Default Roadking

I really dig the new 06 Roadking custom. Anybody here have one? If so, is it cumfy for a passenger? Are there alot of aftermarket parts available? Is there any thing that I should know. I'm new to HD, so any info is appreciated.

My wife and I used to ride together all the time. She says she's not interested anymore. But I think If I got her on the back of one she would change her mind.

A road king anything would probbably get her back to riding with you. I bought a 2006 road king custom about two months ago, and my wife and I love it! Yes, there are lots of accessories avail for it. I got mine pretty well loaded with stuff. Detachable windshield, backrest, the works. Bike is great. The custom is a great choice if you are like me, and didnt want alot of trim stuff all over it. Just a clean smooth bike to dress up as you wish. I know if you get one, you will both be very happy. All of the accessories I put on myself, it was easy.

Sorry, I forgot to add that the most important thing to add first if you want your wife to ride with you is a Sundowner seat. The stock seat is not really made for two people.

Ride an '05 RK Classic myself but as stated above all the RK's are nice rides. Also as stated previously, you need to change out the seat. Seems like it's H-D's way to get you buy "just one more thing" since it seems like none of the stock seats on any of their bikes is worth a damn (except maybe on the Ultras). Good luck.

Great looking bike. How would you rate the vinyl on the mustang versus a leather seat alternative for comfort and looks? Thanks.
