Sweet bike! Looks like some leather bags is all it would take to pass as a Classic. Looks pretty good with hard bags too though and they are pretty convenient with that single lever. I like the clean rear fenders and the new front fender trim wayyy better than the old Standard bumpers.
I think the new Kings are a pretty good blend of the previous two models.
I was kind of surprised to see they resurrected the studded seat from the pre 08's though...

Did you buy your bike from Oakland HD? The doors in the pics look like their front entrance. I bought my bike ('13 SG) from them. Great dealership.
Oakland indeed.. Yes, they are a good group of guys!


I couldn't agree more about the blend this year, loc_tite.. Just wish they would start throwing the same seat thats on the SG or RG.

Saweeet.... I know the feeling !!! ... Congrats !

I went from my wide glide to the RKC, and once I seen the two tone light/dark candy root beer I had to have it,
have since replaced the hard leather bags with matching candy root beer hard cases.

Nice scoot, enjoy it.
New bars for '14, little taller, flatter at the grips.
Ride safe!

I don't blame you! That color is gorgeous! I'm so used to riding with a backpack, It's been tough to remember that I have bags now to put my crap in..

Been in the hunt for a new seat.. I want something that brings me down and back a but, but still 2up with a little back support.. Everyone been happy with their c&c? where does that place you?

So aside from the hard bags and 2014 stuff how is this not a RKC? A very pretty one I must say!
