You got a 2012 for that price??? With all that stuff added???? That's only 600 more than I paid for my 2011 leftover with just bars, backrest, and luggage rack added. Heck of a deal. You're gonna love it. Post pics asap!

Why not get the Classic? Comes stock with the 16" wheels.

Anyway--congrats on the sled. The King is the best Harley made--can be a cruiser or tourer in a matter of minutes. You goin'LIKEY!

Congrats on the new "King" and you got a hell of a deal. This is my third and last one, never to be sold, probably give to grandson.

The leather bags were the main reason and if I did get the classic ,those spoked wheels would have gone also. My old Triumph which still wears the original spoked Dunlop rims has to be trued every couple of years so I want to avoid that on a new bike. Nothing against the classic however..........gorgeous bike for sure.
