i want to upgrade from a dyna superglide to a roadking custom. My wife and I ride 2 up and really like the looks of the custom.

Does anyone have any pros or cons about the custom? I hear people either love the pullback handlebars or hate them. Would appreciate any information.

Thanks

 

I love mine. The pullbacks are comfortable to me and I love looks of them. I have no complaints at all with the bike.
I guess if I had to name one, it would be the lack of storage in the hard leather bags. There is no give to them like the
soft bags. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier.

I have an RK Custom and I ride 2 up about 50% of the time. I love it for the ride and for the good looks. I dont have any issues with the handlebars-I like them. The only time they are a factor is if I am making a u-turn to the right, it can be difficult to maintain the thriottle because of the wrist angle. But the normal u-turn to the left is no problem.

I find the bars very comfy.. some complain about the lack of cruise control (from the Classic).. but I added cruise after purchase and could not be happier)

 

Thank you for all your feedback. I can't wait to upgrade to the road king custom.

 

Over all I like my Custom very much, other than the bars...they suck!
I'm also 6ft 2in tall which may have something to do with them, they come back
way to far and the wrist angle is terrible...for me.
As a matter of fact I'm lookin for pic's with different bars?

Another custom owner here. I like the handle bars, the lower profile, I don't like the seat, and I'm sure a passenger wouldn't like it, I'm taking care of that. I added the windshield, and driving lights. I'm looking into installing cruise control.

 

I have a Custom also and I am 6 foot 1 and I like the bars on it. The stock seat looks good but really falls short for any time cruising. I have both a solo and a sundowner 2 up seat with detachable back rest. It took a little to get use to the bars at first and my wrist would hurt some in the begining but it is not a problem now. I also got a detachable windshield when I purchased it. I did a stage one upgrade and it runs good. Will do a sert when cash is available.
I enjoy being on the bike and miss it when I am not.

I love my custom. I did change out the handle bars....the stock seemed to feel like I was holding a wheel barrel. I went with the extended reach RK bars and I love them. My first love was the fat boy....but I wanted the ride of a RK....so the custom was the perfect choice....I think it looks like a cross between a RK classic and a fat boy.
