Right on! very good descriptions both of you. Yeah man these new M8 motors have put Harley on a whole new level. I tell my friends my M8 RK is unlike any Harley I have rode. Power is fantastic I'm running a stage 1. But your SB is about 200 lighter I think? So that little bobber you got must be Very Fun bike!

I had the opposite feeling with my RK handles better than the Heritage has 32 deg. lean angles both sides. I do not feel the 100lbs weight difference.

Lean Angle, Right (deg.)
27.3
32
Lean Angle, Left (deg.)
28.5
32

yeah, and the steering rake is tucked in tighter on the King than the Heritage so it corners better..26 vs 30 degrees..tho the King is and 1.5 longer so has a little more wheelbase..bottom line is there's no good or bad or right or wrong obviously...whatever feels best to the test rider is the one to get
