With a Road King you can ride with a windshield or without one. You can even buy a batwing fairing for it, .........if you want to look like an old man.

ZPA's tallys show that us old farts with SG's are a minority.

Traded in my lowrider for a roadking last summer and I'm happy. Do miss the lowrider at times. I loved raising hell on that bike. Then again i've never rode a street glide.

It totally depends on what you like. Clearly the fairing is nice if you want a lot of wind protection and a stereo. On the other hand, the RKs are an excellent open road tourer with the windshield, but you can pop it off in four seconds and have more of custom cruising look. I would suggest renting both for a day and seeing which once speaks to you. I went for the Road King Classic, and absolutely love it. Also, if you're considering a bike with a fairing, you might as well try the Road Glide. Personally, if I was going with a fairing this is the one I'd get. They're all great bikes, so enjoy trying them out!

Why buy a Road King if you have a Fat boy for that just add saddle bags to the fat boy and you are set,
It seems to me that just adding saddlebags will save you alot of $$$$$$ [sm=dontgetit.gif]
Street Glides are a dime a dozen and they will not be style anymore [sm=trust_me.gif]

Hey, what about the RKC?[&:]

Secondly, wheels requiring tubes are not ideal for touring because you can't plug them on the road.
