Default RE: heritage vs road king

After the first time I rode my brother's 02 Heritage from Naples to Miami I went right out and bought an 03 RKC... Touring frames forever! Actually, they're really close, it's what appeals to your eye more than what's "under the hood." IMHO the Heritage is a bit more sporty and the RKC has "classier" lines... again, "eye of the beholder" and all that.

One thing... those stretched leather saddlebags on the RKC are a pain in the butt to take care of... I've been ultra careful and the first time they got really rained on this summer (in 3 years) they warped a bit. SUX, but whaddaya do?

Welcome aboard!
