Default 2010 Road King vs SG suspension

Hey Folks,

I've heard the Street Glide is quite a bit stiffer in the rear suspension and doesn't have as much lean angle as the Ultra and EGC. Does anyone know if the Road King has the same suspension set up as the Ultra or is it somewhere in between the Ultra and Street Glide.

Thanks for any info.

Your RK has the same rear suspension (13 inch shocks) as the UC. The SG is lowered 1" by using 12 inch instead of 13 inch shocks. That being said, I have no clearance or lean angle issues on my SG. The SG is a stiffer ride due to the shorter shock travel. You will find a wealth of info on touring shocks in the forum.
