Congrats.

Wide Glides are nice bikes, but Kings are wwwaaaayyyyy better!

I wonder if they changed the stock seat from '13 to '14 because my seat is pretty decent.

a new Harley is never a bad thing.

Congratulations. Enjoy your new toy!

Granted with the new "bus electronics"... the aftermarket will take some time to catch up...just ride it stock...I mean who gives a fuc?

Happy for ya!

You made a smart and well reasoned decision. Newer the better.

I bought a new bike in July....happy so far....but if things progress, I will not hesitate to jump for new....fk the naysays you did good...REALLY.

Nice ride sofa king, is it a RKC with hardbags? Does the bag bolts/pins match up with the earlier modules? If so I would shop around for a used set of leather bags on ebay for those nice Sunday afternoons when you putt down to the park with the windshield off.

Enjoy.

The only pics I saw were the ones on the HD website, and they all show the kings having the same wheels as the SG's.. But there are disclaimers on there about standard equipment. Kinda nice this year having the cruise standard.

I'm not sure if the bags would match up, kinda doubt it, but I love the hard bags. It's almost like a factory mix of the FLHR and the FLHRC (which is discontinued).

Once I grab a seat, I'll go from there to see where the bars need to be.. (Until i get new bars)

So it's true. They finally woke up and put the bars on it that should have been on them all along! Good job HD.
