Great choice and the versatility is one of the things that makes a Road King such an awesome bike.

Here is a pic from Sunday but it doesn't really capture the root beer glow.

Glad I got to ride this weekend, snow on the way again. Ready for spring but in the meantime, I have $1k store credit that I need you guys to help with. Backrest (four point detachable mount base?) Grips? Bag guards? Dunno. First touring ride coming from the Dyna.

Use it to pay for a cam swap. Do your stage I upgrades yourself for a lot less than the dealer would charge.

I have gotten down to the RK or Classic, I have eliminated the Street Glide and that was tough. Going to see the Classic tomorrow. But the RK has so much to offer and the changing is a GREAT option to have ! GREAT color , Lots Of Luck with her, Think about the Rear Pak ?
