Default King Tourpack vs Chopped for my Street Glide

I want to get a tourpack for my 2014 SG Special. I take extended bike trips every summer and the extra room they provide is needed. I"m torn between the King Pack and the Chopped Pack. I am wondering if any of you have any thoughts as to the looks of each pack when mounted on the Street Glide. They both cost the same amount but the King is 5800cc versus 4500cc for the chopped model. Both are still larger than the old style Kings, which were 3850cc, so size really is not a big issue. I just wonder which would look best. I know it's my ultimate decision...just looking for opinions, and maybe some photos and advice from any of you who have mounted them. Maybe things to look for, or to avoid from one style vs the other? Thanks for any input...I appreciate it.

I had the same dilemma, decided to go with the King. I decided that looks not as important when I only use it once or twice a year.

Just my thought.

I've owned and used them both on an SG. The chopped looks kinda cool, but I wanted more storage and a better passenger backrest so I switched to the King. I have never regretted it.

Any pics you can share? I would love to see what it looks like, especially from the rear

Just moved from a '12 SG to a '14 Ultra with the King. Be aware that they're heavy and you will feel it.... Waiting for the docking kit to arrive so I can pull the Tour Pack off when I'm just riding local..

Excuse the quality, but here is what I have on my phone. Both '14 Street Glide Specials, one with the king setup for 2-up, and mine with the chopped setup with solo config:

King.

Especially with the new sleeker design. The king no longer looks like a big sqaure turd on the back of the bike.

Same price
better backrest
more space
potential for rear speakers.

King, all the way.
