I did the exact same thing a few months ago. 13 SG for a 14 King for the same reason. Just got back from a 3500 mile ride and loved it. Ended up getting a 16" LRS shield as the stock 20" was way too tall. Normally don't have the shield on at all but for long rides it does the trick.

I sold a perfectly good one yr old FLHT with only 8K miles, to get my King!
I just didn't care for the ton of plastic in front of me.
I should have bought the RK in the first place!
