Default How crazy would it be..

How dumb would it be to trade in an 06 DWG for a Road King? Yes, I've probably added about 3k worth of accessories to my Dyna. Don't get me wrong.. I love my Dyna but a part of me is really drooling over the RK's.

(No, I can't afford both, oh how I wish)

Not crazy at all, these things cost quite a bit, you should have the one you want. The Road King is an awesome bike!!!

Pretty crazy thoughts.

And I'm having the same ones!!!

Got the Low Rider less than a month (and really like the bike) but would like a Road King.

First it was buying more cigars than I could smoke in a year,






and now thinking about a Road King even though I have a new bike not close to its first service.

SOMEBODY PLEAST HELP ME!

If it's in your means to do so and you think it will improve your ride then I say go for it. I can tell that I love my RK Classic, it's a sweet ride.

How long after you get the RK do you think you’ll want more storage and a radio?

Default RE: How crazy would it be..

To tell you the truth. When I first walked back into the HD dealer, I was looking for a FatBoy. Then the new dyna's caught my eye. Took both out for a test ride, took the FatBoy out for 1 1/2 hrs and was told to make the next ride alittle shorter.
Then I took the Dyna out for a 45 minute ride.
I then took a look a the Touring line-up, rode a Road King and a E Glide. After I came back I asked if I could pop the windshield off the Road King and take it back out. (Understand that I had given 2 $3000.00 deposits on the FatBoy I ordered.)

4 blocks from the dealership I knew the Road King was the bike I wanted, but I rode it further down the road anyway. The ability to pop the windshield off if I want, the ability to carry my stuff in the bags or remove them if I choose, was the deal maker.
Only problem I had was figuring out which Road King model I wanted..........the hard leather bags made me go with the Classic.

Hope your decision is going to be as fun as mine was[sm=icon_rofl.gif]
