I'll sticK with the Road King.
Take the shield off when I want and I have no need for a cd player with mp3 hook-up.

SG is it because of the fairing. The RKC is a nice bike but it needs the fairing. Get the adjustable vents. Plenty of air flow.

just go to the dealer and check out the RK.&nbsp\\; Then have them pull off the windshield and behold the most awsome looking bike you've ever seen.&nbsp\\; Then check out the Geezer Glides and ask them to remove the fairing.

Thanks all. Went to a dealer today. Offered 15 grand for my 07 Fat Boy on an 08 RKC in Golden Glow Black Glow that does not have ABS. The price is MSRP no freight of set up. Good deal or should I keep looking.
