Default Sportster to RK

I traded my 2005 Sportster Roadster for a 2006 RK Classic and boy what a difference. Managed to find a 2006 RK with only 8,000 miles on it and it looks brand new. I think I'm gonna enjoy the new ride!

Never met a Harley I didn't like. I figure in Heaven we get to have one of each.

I have had my 2010 Road King for about a month I like it more each time ride it. Yesterday was fog and rain and we still had a ball.

And being a Aussie model it had cruise ABS alarm and immobiliser. And I added a GPS Zumo 550

Had '06 RKC and loved it every minute as you will. Now, I'm on my new Ultra and loving it more even though I still miss my RKC. Fat Boy's good for local rides and bar hopping, but Road King's an all around bike whether it's local rides, bar hopping or long distance rides.

Road King's awesome,

Thorey

You will be happy with it.

I have an 09 RKC, and I put the RKC Sundowner seat on it, which felt like it was slightly lower than the stock seat and have the HD Reduced Reach handlebar gives a more relaxed feel when riding.

I love this bike!!
