At least I'm not the only one pining for another one! Make mine a Dragonfly Green Road King Classic!

You know Craig, it's so tough to just pick one. I like 'em all.

This time around, I was tossed between the 35th glide, the Springer Classic, or a 'King classic. Since I sold off my other bikes to buy my superglide, I was planning on building up a Pimp Daddy pan-bobber kit or buy a Sucker Punch Sally kit as the garage tinkerer. But the thought long distance touring came into the picture; you know, really hit the road and get lost for a week at a time? There's worse places then a Harley to tie up money or make payments on so why not?

I'm thinking about going with an Electra Glide classic or a Road King Classic with the matching leather tour pack. My heart goes to the 'King but my Mind says Electra Glide for the electronic goodies. We'll see what the 07's have in store i.e. 95" and 6 speed. Who knows what the MOCO has in store.....we'll find out in a few months.

Vs. 160 tire. Not a very good shot though of mine.

Jon, was that 180 just mounted or do you have the 'special kit'?

this one has "the kit". I personally think it was a waste of money thrown at the dealer.

What is the purpose of the plates? Has anyone's dealer told them the purpose? I'm not sure the dealer's know why they exist...except to bleed us a little more.[:@]

Luckily for us, it's a hard decision to screw up too! You can't buy a bad one.

Not a waste of money as the wider tire fills out the mudguard better , and as quoted before ex/150 better than 130 , so 180 better than 160 .
But wait to tire change for the bigger option kit

So what you are saying is that the 180 is better then the 160 which is better then the 150 which is better then 140? I might need a new tire since there's a nail in it. Should I change to a wider tire now or should I wait until the next tire change after this one? What do you think I should do?
