Default What would you do...

Dealer offered me a 2010 96" Street Glide with custom paint and offered to throw in a 103" upgrade, OR I can purchase a new 2011 RoadKing with factory 103" engine, either one for 20 grand. I've only owned an 04 RK with a 95" kit and not sure which way to move on this deal. Looking for any and all opinions please.

Thanks in advance.

I guess I am partial to the road king so, I would go for the 2011 Road King. Just my opinion.

Dang, that'd be a tough choice I think. I'm not even sure what I'd do much less have any usable advice.

Surely, you have a prefference... sorry didn't mean to call you surely. I would consider what I wanted to ride in the next 2-3 years and let your concious be your guide.

IMO, go with the factory 103. I absolutely love mine! So here's another vote for Street Glide, but it's all about you and what you want.
