First time poster in the touring section. I am a proud new owner of a 2010 Road King Classic.

I had bought a 10 Heritage back in may and every 1k miles I would loose a quart of oil. Dealer thought I was full of **** and I wound up makeing 6 trips to get it fixed. Today was the last straw, told them to put a new motor in it and I would be happy.

They offered the Road King Classic for no money down and a few dollars more on the payment so I said---Hell Yess sign me up.
Yea me by-god.

Congrats on your new bike. It's too bad you had such a hard time with your Heritage.

Thanks guys. I wanted the Road King to start with. I let a smooth talking salesman talk me into the Heritage. It was a real nice bike with lots of chrome and vance and hines exhaust with stage 1 race tuner. I was happy with the bike but the oil problem got so bad on my mind I just had to start over.

Yes, you won!! I've had 2 Road Kings and loved 'em both. Wanted to try something different, so bought a Street Glide and really like it, but there's still a place in my heart for the Kings.

Ride it hard (but safe). It can take it.

Welcome to the Touring section.

You are gonna love the Road King, most versatile bike you can get. Regarding your Heritage, before I started using Amsoil I would lose between a quart and a quart and a half every 3,000 miles. Now zero loss. I got tired of paying the dealer prices, joined the Amsoil discount club and recently bought 2 cases at a significant savings.
