2020 Road King Special
Likely buying a 2020 Road King Special this week as a weekend toy. New dealer stock, but has been sitting on the dealer floor for about a year. What are some of the common issues that people have with these bikes that I should look out for?

The 114's tend to cause you to have the MC version of carpal tunnel. There is a distinct tendency to over twist the wrist, on frequent occasions, causing numerous bugs to be ingested, from excessively large smiles, and possibly excessive insurance rates, caused by too frequent meetings with the man in blue.

Yea I caught the "weekend" comment too. I would have liked to have kept my sportster, but can't justify keeping 2 bikes of similar type. Wouldn't mind a DR650 in the stable though. I couldn't see taking the sporty on a ride, I wouldn't do with my Ultra, so off it went. Should have gotten the DR right when I did it though. Now the Ultra has absorbed my DR funds. Ahh well, life isn't so bad after all.
