Default Pulled The Trigger On A New RKC
I've been thinking about going from 2 bikes to 1 for six months or more. I had a '06 Fat Boy and a '09 Street Glide. Well, I traded both in today on a 2011 Road King Classic (yep, it's black). Worked a sweet deal and 2 dealers were competing and I won. Best of all, momma got a sweet check!

I took EVERYTHING off both scoots that I added, as I know from experience a dealer gives you near to nothing for 'em. Everything from the SG went straight on the RKC :-) and saved me a bundle.

The SG with SE-255's was strong, but I got to tell you with a simple slip-on change, opened up the breathing and a Stage i download, the RKC pulls very nicely with the 103. Wonderful machine! Love it!!

Hope the picture shows up, as I've never posted one before.
