Default Road King

I traded my 2013 Street Glide for a 2014 Road King. I wanted the openness and the versatility the road king offers , nothing wrong with a street glide it was just not for me.

I hear.. I wanted a touring harley as well but hate fairings and and the style of most of the touring models. And honestly I had no intention of ever buying one because if that. Until I walked in the dealer to get my Fatboy inspected and saw a 2014 CVO King sitting there! It was so clean and I loved the blacked out drive train.. its like they built the bike just for me. That one was sold tho. So I had to go to a different dealer and they had one on order coming right from the assembly line. So I scopped it up and it never hit the show room floor!!!

Good move. For versatility, you can always make the King SG-like, but not the other way around.

When I was deciding, I rented each for a day for comparison. In the end, versatility, nostalgic styling and, to me, better handling on the King won out.

Hope you didn't put too much into the SG and I like that color on your King.

Excellent choice! But I think you are definitely in the minority, moving from a faring to a windshield.
