Traded my Road King in for a Street Glide in less than a year, had to have the fairing, tunes, and the hard bags. Best decision I ever made.

I put the lowering rear shocks on my RKC and it sets nice. The front is stock

I say Road King, you can ride with or without windshield, and if you want more
wind protection you can get a removable bat wing. RK can do it all.

I had loved the Road kings for years, then on my way out to Sturgis I saw my first SG. You can see in my sig, what I decided. Love the tunes, and the fairing.

feel your pain... I fell for the RKC hook line and sinker. If I was to shop for a bike now, I'd be hard pressed, SG, RG, BMW . . .

I bought the profile lower shocks and can reach the ground ok. I have little legs, 5' 10" and 28" legs. I've been giving a lot of thought to either sending my seat over to Mean City or riding over there to get my stock seat redone to sit even a little lower.

enjoy yourshopping,
