New rims and wheels
Quick release luggage rack
Hard bags

Well when you jump on a King you will indeed be running with the big dogs. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me if the bike is sound. Plus I am sure you will have a warranty period with the purchase of the bike. So like they say, if it moves you, then that's all that really matters.

You will like the comfort for sure. The Road King is a great bike.

Ride it first.
It may be too much bike for you.

Price is a very good deal though.

I road my dads ultra classic for a couple weeks before. Stage 2 upgrade, very quick and I could handle it. I would have no problem on the road king.
I set up a time on Saturday and go and work it out. Bike sounds like a beast.
So I'm thinkin on doing it

Dang right ****** that Road king up before someone else does.
Once you get in your possession buy a set of the heritage handle
bars "the old stock bars", and a rear stabilizer and if it pulls to
the left disconnect the clutch cable from the triple tree. You are
going to love the Road king .
