I like the RKC. I like being able to remove the windshield for around town and short trips and then putting it back on for highway rides. The only change I'm making to mine is putting the saddlebag support on from the custom to get rid of the bar in front of the bags. I think it cleans up the look of the side of the bike. I have cruise control and air rides suspension so what else is there. (I do sing to myself alot when I ride thou.)

Default RE: Glide - King choice?

I had a Heritage and was looking to get a better 2 up ride and almost replaced the Heritage with a RK. Now that may not be a bad thing and the reason I wasn't interested in a RG or EG etc. was I wanted to look cool. Well I am so glad that I didn't get hung up on looking cool cause I ended up buying a 05 Road Glide and couldn't be happier. I chose the RG because I liked the idea of a frame mounted fairing verse the batwing. All I can say is I have put a bit over 1000 miles in the past couple months since I have bought the RG and I LOVE this damn bike. It handles so incredible, today I replaced the factory airshocks with 12" Progressive 440's and love theose as well a very stiff but comfortable ride and my feet reache the ground. You really need to go ride one before you decide to buy a RK. Just my biased opionion (spelling?)

Go Glide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
