@Big Al 59 Just got back from 7 days of riding averaging 10 hrs per day with a total mileage of 5,035 Kms. Just want to say there is no way I could have tolerated this kind of riding on the Heritage. Bike performed well, and no oil consumption despite the constant highway speeds. Every fill up was 1.5 L less than my buddy riding his 2016 1800cc Goldwing. The ride felt stable on the rough roads and sweepers......Just a FYI for Al

Road King
Well I've kinda bashed the Heritage on the vibration problem but with different boots it's a lot better . A friend and I rode to Bikes Blues & Barbecue Wednesday and I finally got to test ride a few new Harleys one was a Road King . The things I noticed was yes it's smoother but the suspension is definitely a a step back from the Heritage and to me it felt more cramped. At this point I don't think it's a big step up from the Heritage. The one bike I rode that I figured I would hate was Roadglide ST man that bike was super nice it was big but it didn't feel that way .

that's it, the deal is done, last Thursday I took my Heritage to the dealership and I left with the RKS, I had brought the LRS the Saturday before, I think I got a good deal, the trade-in of my two bikes is at the same level as they were in the ads and I left with a new bike without adding money, registration document included and I negotiated the Wind Splitter in addition...
and it's really new, 0 miless on the odometer...
This weekend I added a little, we went to the annual gathering of our French forum and I have already covered 1000 miles, a real pleasure to ride, silky smooth, much more manageable and light to handle than my ex 103 Road King, I'm really happy...
