Get the King! I can make any bike fit me and suit my tastes, I'm sure he will figure it out, that's the fun part. The Deluxe is a great ride, but is a down grade compared to the King for cross country rides.
yep..

Can you chat him up about it without him catching on?
So you make an excuse to stop by Harley and "pick up a quart of oil" and the two of you check out the bikes while you are there.
He may not even know himself what he wants. Cool wife - hope he's getting her something good.

My friends wife wants to surprise her husband with a Harley for Christmas. The problem is she only has about a 12k budget. I was just at the dealer and saw a 2004 Road King Custom right in that ball park. Very nicely taken care of - prior owner did great keeping the bike up. My buddy was interested in a Heritage a while back. Since we ride as a group a lot we'd probably do some rides that are 300+ miles. Do you guys think the RK Custom would be better or a Heritage? The Custom in my opinion is probably a better bike but wanted to get other thoughts here...

Road Kings are nice, had one myself. However, if I was his wife, I would give him the money in a helmet, and let him decide on what model. He may want an Ultra. A lot of them out there in that price range. So I say, as others have, let him choose. That way, it's all good.

We ride with a couple that have a Heritage - they don't have any trouble keeping up with any of us and love their bike. I don't think they would trade it for anything.
