Heritage Softail or RK
I am wanting to buy a HD and have narrowed it down to the Herritage Softail Classic or the Roak King Classic. I am stationed overseas right now and will not be able to ride either of these before buying. So please everyone give me their thoughts on what is the differences between the two and which one is best. I am 6ft3in and 250 lbs so the choices are partly because of size. Any pics would be appreciated since all I get to look at is the crappy colors on the HD websight. I know they are better in person. Thanks for all your help.

I rented both (put 200 miles on both over the same stretch of fwy) and chose the Heritage Softail Classic due to the seating position. I felt like I was sitting "in" the bike as opposed to sitting "on" the bike but please note that I am only 5'8". For long distance travel I beleive the RK would be a much better choice. Also, the RK was much smoother over 80 mph.

The reason I picked a softail over the other bikes was because I liked the ideal of having a ballanced motor mounted solid to the frame verses the shaky rubber mounted motors. Ifn any way you could ride these would be you best bet. Youl have a nice bike no matter which one you get.

RK is a nice looking bike, but it just didn't give me that special feeling when I sat on it.
I was down to heritage, deluxe or RKC. On paper, the RK made the most sense.
Emotionally, it was all deluxe.
Its hard to decide from paper, but rest assured that either one is a great choice.
