Are there any handling differences between the RK & RKC, 16" vs. 17" front tire?
Reading the specs, I just noticed that the Road King has a 17" front tire and the the Road King Classic has a 16" front tire.
Is there any note worthy difference between the two as far as the ride quality or handling is concerned? I seem to remember something about white-wall tires only being available in 16", is that correct or am I losing it?
I don't know squat about how these different tire sizes effect handling, I'm guessing that the 17" might be a tad better over all then the smaller 16"?
I'm just curious and thought that I might get to learn something about this since the RK and RKC are my favourite Harleys out of the whole Harley line-up.

I have no personal experience with the Road King Classic, but see about eight paragraphs down in this American Rider road test. No difference noticed by their tester.
