sounds like an interesting and fun trip. So are you ready to get a fairing for the RK? or trade it in on aGlide so you can get a radio and some protection from the wind? I Know I couldn't do that kind of miles on my king.
I sure am ready for a fairing!!! I didnt thinkthe airwas so bad from the top but the turbulence from the lower parts of the bike was the worst. I was wondering if just the lowers will stop that from being so bad???? I had a lot of time to think why didn't I buy an Electra Glide. Just kidding I like my king. I just need to up grade the seat, fairing, lower fairing, riders rest, radio, etc, etc,
Thats what I'm thinking also. I may just sell the king and buy some kinda glide. Love my RK but may have to upgrade. Gonna ride some before I decide, would like to have ABS and a 96/6 speed. So may go new. I hate to be in debt.
