I traded in my 2011 Ultra Classic and decided to get back to basics. I wanted to stay in the Touring line, as my riding style is typically 200~300 mile day runs around New England. An overnight here or there, but really mainly day rides.
I've always loved the classic looks of the Road King and had been looking at either new or very low miles bikes. I didn't expect to find a 2015 with 1500 miles on the clock. (the dealer actually sold it to me with 2500 on the odo, but I discovered they had it set for KM not miles.) I got it for very reasonable bucks and here in Massachusetts we have sales tax and excise tax, so a 5-year-old like new bike was going to save me money. It was bone stock except for 4 point-docking and a backrest.
I added a set of 12.5 inch Wild one Chubbys, and a Fuel Moto Stage 1. Jackpot High roller mufflers, stainless 2/1/2 Headpipe, and a Fuel Moto Air cleaner, with a Powervision I had for the previous ride.
That's it for this year. I was thinking getting into the engine next year, but it seems to go so good as it is, my need for more engine isn't strong right now. That could change next year, but for now it's just gonna' be gas and tires!
