2011 Road King Seat - Lower!!!
I did a comparison of the photos on the HD website of the two Road Kings...the 2011 seat is MUCH lower, and not such a "bucket" like the 2010 seat.
Has anyone else noticed this?? Or are they displaying a optional seat?

Harley site says
2010 Road King
Laden: 27.3"
Unladen: 29.9"
2011 Road King
Laden: 26.5"
Unladen: 28.0"
Is it all in the seat? Yes it is.

I think the seat on the 2010 RK is the most butt-ugly (yes, pun intended) and uncomfortable seat in the Harley line...besides the sporty solo of course.
Now if the would only fix those damn bars!

I put a Sundowner on my '10 RK. The stock one was as ugly as it was uncomfortable - stock one is horrible IMO
Really like the Sundowner though - no butt burn - no moving aroung - I've got a backrest on it - that took some getting used to - but now I've got to change the bars!! I'm going with mini apes

and the RoadGlide custom as well. I had to look at the spec's to make sure
my RK was not lowered..
I have noticed since I have been here that a lot of those lowered FL's are going to the regular length shock.

At 5'8" I am growing tired of all the new "tall" bikes. Ultra, Limited, etc.
