First things first, in the interest of full disclosure my current ride is a VTX 1800 R.
Second, I don't care what you or any of the guys I ride with own
and believe me we have all makes and models in my club.
"RedKnights - NJ16" if you need or want to know.
I'm here because I would like to hear more about the Roadking Classic and the Ultra Classic, good and bad from owners.
I like my bikes sort of plain and simple,andsetup solo.
I'm thinking about a UltraClassic in my future but I like the look of the Roadking Classic setup solo with backrest and detachable tour pack for those long weekends. Can something similar be done with the Ultra Classic? I've never seen one rigged solo.
Thanks for reading this far. Ride Safe
