A few points:
She wouldn't even condsider a Road King over her Low Rider
She watch's her money closer than I do mine
A friend want's to get a Harley to go riding with his wife as a passenger; he rides a CBR600 and competes in motocross as well. I took his wife on my Dyna a couple of times and she's all for it, so he's now looking for a used Dyna. My wife just happened to point out that she may be more comfy on the back of a RK and if he's going touring it won't be much cheaper by the time it's outfitted...we'll see what happens...

Don't think cruise is standard on RK's; we just installed it on my buddies...
Wife and I had a RK for a day; the windshield was the size of our kitchen table top and it had a tour pack on it, so a nice backrest...she was comfy but I didn't like the handling or power compared to my ride. She was comfy enough on mine with the sundowner but pretty windy compared to the RK...

I wouldn't say a dyna looks better in full dress than a road king classic (IMHO). The full size bags on a dyna kinda clash with the thinner front end and skinny tire...again, only my opinion. I think the RKC looks much more purportioned than a dyna with a whole bunch of crap (crap that is needed though) bolted to it. It never looks like it belongs there on a dyna...except for Jakyl and JRK's bikes. That being said, I would prefer a dyna with touring "crap" bolted on instead of a bagger. I'll let you know if I change my mind after my cross-country road trip next week.
P.S. I do think that FatBobs look better than other dyna's with bags and a windshield installed. But I prefer the "Icecaps" look.

I'm not bashing RK, just depends on the riding which the OP didn't state till later. For 2 up riding gravy, do it. For all the above I'll take my Dyna!! IMO!!
