Default coming to the dark side or is this the bright side?

Just bought an 09 Road King has 2,1xx miles, only changes that have been made are 16" wild ones chubby apes with steel braided cables and Rinehardt Duals everything else is stock, beautiful bike I couldnt find a blemish on it, Gave $13,000 I think I did very well with the price just wondering what the guys over here on the touring section think?

I am coming from an 08 street bob that is super fun but kills my back on the long trips thinking about keeping it as a "bar hopper" not sure yet.

look forward to getting tons of good info from the forum as I did with my Dyna, I will post pics tomorrow when I pick it up.

You didn't come to the dark side, you just bought a bagger. Now if you were to have bought a Road Glide, THEN you would have been coming to "the dark side".


Oh, congrats on your purchase and you're gonna love the bagger.

You've seen the light! Welcome to the world of baggers, from the UK.

I thought he was putting a car tire on his king. Isn't that the "darkside"?

Sounds like you got a deal, and yes you have reached the light at the end of the tunnel.

Hush! Don't start that. Let ignorance and innocence carry on!

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!! Can't believe it only has 2,100+ miles on it. I got mine at the end of August (this past August), and I'm already at 3,800+ miles.
