Once all the problems were worked out, mine has been a dream...
Now the only problem I have with it is the weather is turning colder....
Can one of you tech guys fix that for me please?
15,000 miles on the RKC. very pleased so far. Both passenger floorboards fell off due to crappy chinese bolts(not at the same time). rear shock leaked and replaced. all the above issues covered under warranty
My 2007 Road King Classic only has 4300 miles on it but I have been very pleased so far. I only wish that I could have afforded an Ultra Classic. The 5th gear noise that I have heard so many complaints about, I can't hear that noise. My RKC has not had a heating problem and I live in some of the hottest and most humid climate in the US. The O.E.M. Dunlop tires with only 4300 miles on them hardly show any wear.
