Solo. That is a sweet King. How do you like the fairing?

Cool Sharp looking motor!

That is one sharp looking motor in anyway you want. I would suggest keeping the back rest on it for the just in case times...you never know when someone your riding with may need some assistance...IMHO.

I like the solo seat with the fairing. Only use the passenger seat and backrest when you need it. Nothing like a Road King for versatility.

well thanks..think I'm keeping it solo unless I need a passenger lol! that's what I really love about the road king....that bike can look so different in 10 minutes!

I love the fairing..having some tunes...and I just did a 100 mile ride for the first time today after installing it..... love the way it handles...seems like it's better on the wind with the 18-wheelers than when I just had the windshield on!

thanks for the compliments guys....I really love this bike!

If I had a fairing, our Kings would look like twins. I like the solo look.

If you're not hauling a passenger, the solo always looks best in my opinion. You ought to look at the C&C Fastback or Corbin Stinger for the Roadking. I love mine, and you kind of get the best of both worlds.....Although your passenger might not agree if it's a long haul.

Your bike looks awesome in both configurations, I really like the way the fairing ties in the front end too!
