RE: Batwing vs. RK
I'll say the same thing said over and over on this forum.Rent both before you buy.Just remember you can convert a RK into a batwing with an aftermarket fairing.You can't reverse the process on a batwing.If a stereo is important in your life than the issue is solved from the get go.

RE: Batwing vs. RK
I traded my fatboy in une/08 for a RKC.I was originally on the fence between SG and RK.Didnt think i would like the permanant fairing.Ended up with RKC ,more versatility and the limited color that i got just made it an easier decision.I could always add fairing and tunes later if i wish.

You will still get plenty of air with the SG and the bat wing makes long rides enjoyable.

RE: Batwing vs. RK
I've got the RK. \\; Just got a Dead Center fairing this spring. \\; Love it. \\; Never realized how much I would enjoy the tunes. \\; Best of both worlds, can remove in seconds. \\; That's the route to go, IMHO.  \\;
