Len - LOL
Been there done that on the Superglide! hehe Had gotten my seat redone on her with memory foam. After approx 25k I got off from a 400 mile ride and blurbed that my memory foam done memorized me ****! LOL

Now that my kids are older, finding that I love the longer rides. Future hubby and I ride all over - long weekends are usually 1500+ mile weekends. He already has one planned for a couple of months from now. Giving me time to get real comfy before I hit the twisties.

Congratulations puddles. The Road King was my first Harley and remains my favorite, even though I prefer the Ultra for long distance touring. You're a seasoned rider so I know you're just going to be whack happy with the Road King with no issues of handling it. Take care and ride safe.

Wow. You took it in for routine maintenance and came out with a new Road King? That was some expensive maintenance! Welcome and enjoy your new ride.
