As previously mentioned, remove the TP to shed a few pounds up high. As far as the clutch, you can always get adjustable clutch and brake levers here for your ride. Adjusting the friction zone can help a lot. Then go out and practice.

I have a '13 King and a Sporty, and going back and forth between the 2 bikes is a big difference.

first, sorry about your dad.
b. youll get used to the new bike, it does have alot more weight up high
3rd. everyone needs at least a handful of bikes.

Ha. About a month ago I had five Harleys and a Suzuki in the garage. I’ve managed to cut that down to four Harleys. I really need to get that number down to three before winter sets in so I can get my wife’s car back in the garage.

My final dilemma was deciding if I should sell my dad’s Ultra Limited and just keep my Road King or keep his Ultra and sell my Road King. I think I’d like to keep the Ultra but once I commit and sell the Road King there’s no going back.

the pull effort on my hydraulic clutch doesn't bother me too much, but the distance is what kills me. yes, i have shorter fingers. i use the oberon adjustable clutch lever and that made a world of difference. it didn't make the pull any easier, per se, but i don't have to extend my fingers out quite as far which indirectly makes the pull feel less.

livingroom? thats what id do anyway. move it in and keep telling her id get around to getting it out.

If I could only have one bike, it would be a Road King. And then outfit it for touring, or strip it down for around town. Luckily I don't have to make that choice. Your choice may be more complicated due to sentimental value of the Ultra. You could make the tour pack detachable (if not already) You can't take the lowers off cause the radiators.

I don’t really have any sentimental attachment to the bike. I mean it’s just one of many things my dad owned and being it’s a 2016 model it isn’t like it’s been in the family forever.

Honestly, my first inclination was to just sell it. After a sort of farewell ride, I found the extra wind protection at highway speeds and the radio were kind of nice features. Combine that with the Ultra being newer than my bike, having half as many miles, and a larger engine, I started to consider keeping it. Also, my wife pointed out that although she seldom rides with me that she is way more comfortable with the big backrest on the Ultra.

Don't overthink it. Just put couple of thousand miles on it and you will be good.

Takes alot of practice but you'll get used to it. I came from an Intruder 1500LC that is extremely well balanced & all the weight is very low. Was definitely an adjustment at first. Don't turn the bars & hit the front brake!!!

That might change with fairing and lowers

Keep them both. FLHR is great for warm weather and bar hopping.
