Default Made the switch

Time to move over to the touring forum. I traded the Fat Bob in for a 2011 Road King Classic. I am really diggin the new wheels!! It is still stock, but stage 1 is already in the mail. PCV, Vance & Hines 3" Fishtails and K&N heavy breather. Also waiting on a C&C fastback 2up seat.

Now I need to decide on what bars to go with. Leaning towards the Wild 1 518.

Nice bike man. You're gonna love the touring family and never look back. Keep tweaking the air pressure in the shocks until you get it just right.

Gongrats. Went from a Dyna Low Rider to a Road King two years ago. I'm very glad I did--
I'm sure you will be too. Now you have a fresh "canvas."

By the way--I think I saw someone posting those same bars in the Touring classifieds on this site.
