RE: opinion
Depends on YOU!
Do you want a fairing or not?
What type of fairing do you want?
Is a fairing important for the protection it gives you while riding.
The RKC has a different look and style than the hard bag Roadglide.
You get to choose what you ride. Is that great or what?

RE: opinion
I was looking at a '03 Roadglide before I bought my '04 RKC. I liked them both, but I probably would have gone for the Roadglide if it had not sold. I like the RKC a lot. The ride is great, but I'm sure it will be better once I have the cash for the sundowner seat. The stock seat leaves a LOT to be desired. I also like having the option of removing the windshield. On the down side, you can't lock the leather saddlebags. Well, not without giving Harley $200 for the locking kit. It would also be nice to have a stereo. I know there are options for tunes for the RKC, but none that don't take away from the look of the bike. (In my opinion)
The tunes and locking bags are a big selling point for the Roadglide. The clean, classic lines and removable windshield make the RKC a good choice. It all comes down to what you want.

RE: opinion
You're going to get a lot of different opinions and that is just what they are. Opinions only. Ride a few bikes that you think you may like. Rent, borrow or test ride. Just make sure it is more than around the block ...
Personally, I have little use for a stereo on a motorcycle. Of course, that may change as I get more geezerly.

RE: opinion
Both great rides.....same frame and geometry. Road Glide is a more comfort oriented tourer, especially if you add lower fairing. Are you cruising more or touring more? Only you can decide.

WOW, you came to the right place for opinions !!! LOL
In my humble opinion the Road Glide handles better that any other bike I have ever riden.
But why rely on our opinions; got out and rent each bike for a day. Small price to pay for such a large investment.
