Thanks everyone!
I just got my first bike, a 2008 Road King. This site has help me so much!
First the bike I purchased had 14" chubbys and the just seemed to rock back and forth way to much. after researching here I replaced the riser bushings with new FIRM ones (also learned how to do that here) and now they are perfect!
Also after much research I went ahead and ordered the Badlander seat even though the reviews were 50/50 loved it or hated it...I just really wanted that look. Besides the bike also came with a very nice Mustang touring seat so I can put that on if the OL wants to ride.
anyway...thanks to all...now off to research lighting upgrades all the way around!

cheapest is the rear pulley 2 teeth bigger should fit stock belt,raise rpm in 6th about 300 rpm. good place to start if ya decide ya want more then do the front pulley 1 or 2 teeth smaller labor is a pita ya got to remove the swing arm.
