Consider the FLHTCI. Best touring bang for buck.

Like both, the King offers a style that will aways turn heads, and you could always get a fairing. The fairings I have discovered will make for longer riding seasons. The glides are also making a presence with their looks and style. Either one a great choice.

I traded my Sporty of an RKC. I lookrd at an EG as well, but liked the look of the RKC. Didn't like the powder coat on the EG engines.

I agree with your powdercoat comment. I have always liked the black accented motor better.
