i have a 04 road king custom

mustang fender bib
police hard bags
ebay vented lowers
ulta light bar
16" apes not installed
21x3.5 front rim not installed
amber spot lights
smoked signals
kerker fish tail slip ons

who do you think is getting the better deal. i know choppers are hard to sell these days



Man keep the king put the apes and the 21 wheel on it. It will be like having a new ride. The chopper looks cool and all but that's about it. The road king is a lot more bike. You will get a lot of ride time from the road king. Not so much the chopper. Not only that but the road king is a real Harley , the chopper is not. Just my 2 cent!!!!

Only if you want to look good at red lights.. I still have my chopper because I can't stand to part with it, for how little its worth now. But i hardly ride it ever after getting the Road Glide.. It's a big no for me

Looking at that seat and the bars... is that his wife's bike, or is the dude really short?

I like choppers and that one looks good. I wouldn't trade my RK for it, I wouldn't trade your RK for it.

Depends if you like to ride a lot of miles. Or ride to the bar and park it so people can comment on how cool it looks. Me, I'd keep the King.
