I am planning on going with he King even though I had originally planned on doing the chopped. The lines are very similar in person and the benefits of the king tour pak just outweighs the negatives especially if you plan on getting the quick detach bracket. I do not plan on cruising with this thing on all the time just on trips with the wife. Otherwise it will be hanging on the storage bracket in the basement. Plus my old lady saw the difference in the available seat backs and said if she was gonna ride then I was getting the better backrest.
Well, I bit the bullet and went with the King. I plan on using it for my long summer trips (Headed to Deal's Gap and the Dragon's Tail this year). Most of the time it will probably hang in the garage, and the price is the same...got a good deal from Surdyke...order placed and now I just have to wait a month or so! Thanks to all of you for your input...ride safely!
