First Congratulations, glad you're happy!
Question? Why is the King better than the SG? I've owned a slew of Harley's but never a king...ride a 12 SG now...just wondering....
Me, I like the radio, cruise and have put a chopped tour box on mine...but I just gatta ask...
What's better to you...and I get it that likes are subjective....

I did the same thing, but I kept my 12 Ultra and found a used 09 RK. I might sell the 12 Ultra, but haven't decided yet.
For me, I wanted something that gave me more wind in the summer, was more nimble and still had the benefits of the touring model. For me, the fairing made it feel like less of a motorcycle, if that makes any sense.
The Ultra is like an Escalade, the RK is like a Vette.

I went from an Ultra Limited to a Road King Classic, best decision I ever made. Went through 2 bikes before I bought the bike I should have bought in the first place. Congrats on your new ride.
