thinking new road king
I'm getting close. I put $200 down on her today. The new King should be in Wednesday, so Thursday pending my test ride and the Weather, and if all goes well, I will pay cash on the spot and she will be mine. They will then deliver my new bike to me and then pic up my 10 FXDC and take it back with them... wish me luck, I'll probably need it.
I am considering a 2010 two-tone white pearl/black ice, ABS, Security, and Wheel Option, total before the taxes - which include dealer prep for $21,589.
I think this is a tad high.... anyone have any thoughts on this?

OP here.
I did buy the RK the day I test drove it, they delivered it to my home about a week later. I have a Thread on here with pics of the day it was delivered. You can look up my Threads and find the one with the pics. Thanks to all for your advice... Come on Spring.

Jump in with both feet and get yourself a RK. If in 6 months you decide that you want a fairing with a radio, get a quick detatching one off of ebay. Then should you get tired of the RK & SG look, go back to ebay & get you a tour pack w/docking station. Now you have an Electra Glide. Or step it up to an Ultra with a set of lower fairings and some rear speaker pods. Oh yea, you can get those on ebay too.
So if you buy the RK and spend a little time & $$ on the forum classifieds or ebay, you could have the entire HD Touring Family less the RG. Good Luck!
