I owned a RK and loved it, runnin around town or on the highway. Only got rid of it due to the fuel injection being new to Harley that yr and mine had its fair share of issues. I traded my EGC for the new framed 09 SG and have to say I am more than satisfied and love the extra protection from the batwing fairing and already lowered. If I was looking at the RK over again I'd opt for a Heritage Classic.

 

Yeah I think the RK's and the SG and RG's have more in common than the other models. It seems to me a lot of guy's modify those 3 models more than anything else in the FLH line JMO

I really like my 10RK that new frame on those FLH's sure handles a lot better and you gotta love that 180 fatso on their rear

 

ive heard storys of guys that sold their Dynas to buy a Street glide but they wish they never sold their dyna and kept both

 

I just came off a club style dyna to a road glide and I love it still handles and can throw it in turns but rides like a cadillac. The frame mounted fairing rides nice too compared to the street glide

 

If ANYBODY can swing it, they need to have 2 bikes. Wish I could afford more. Maybe someday...

 

This thread is 8 years old, but I'll comment anyway..........I rode dynas most of my life. I traded for a Street Glide and would never go back now. You'll soon, very soon, get used to the weight of the bike. It handles well, and as someone said, who cares if you're going cross country or across town. Comfort is comfort. And the bags, fairing, and radio are things you'll soon learn to love. I have a couple friends who still own dynas, and riding them now, they just feel so small. JMHO.

 

I ride a 48 around town and highway usually on hour out and back. I've test road a 2016 low rider, 2016 fatbob, 2018 sport glide and just recently a 2017 road king special. the rks was the most comfortable ride. I would take the rks cross town and on long hauls.

 

I've had a 2009 Softail Standard, 2002 Sportster Custom XL1200C, a 2018 Street Bob, and now a 2019 RKS. The RKS is by far the most comfortable (of course) bike i have ever ridden. Not to mention how agile it is. I'd would ride the RKS around town instead of the other bikes any day. You can't feel the weight when you are riding it, and it maneuvers like a much smaller bike. Not to mention the power.
