I hope HD keeps the King for a long time.

Been thinking of trading the Sporty to a Softail.

I've been looking at the Ultra Classic and Limited Low.


I might just build a 2015 Road King Low.

Whatever it would be, it would probably be in the superior blue.

If I was in the market, I'd consider a Road King or Switchback.

The RoadKing and StreetGlide are the best of the '15's touring line,they are what they are, not pseudo something else,the RK and SG are the least bastardized bikes of the Rushmore Harleys...

I put a Fuel Moto HF on mine. It lets you use the stock cover, but replaces the back plate to open things up. High quality unit, and easy install.

Just got a 2014 Tri Glide, so I'd like a low rider or SuperGlide, something just to "cat" around on. Would really like a Cross Bones...

If I were to buy another new Harley it would have a fully liquid cooled engine, 30+ more HP and have modern suspension at both ends. Looks like I'll be keeping what I've got.
