thoughts on Road King Custom
After riding for over one year on my starter bike, I'm ready to move up to a new HD. I realy like the road king custom but my father-n-law and brother-n-law both own Road Glides and they are trying to convince me that I'll be much happier in the long run with a Road Glide. I know I should go with what I trully like however they've made some good points. I would appreciate some feed back from anycurrent or previous custom owners.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Both bikes ride great. Although I've never owned a RG, my buddy has one & I put a few hundred miles on his.
I love my Custom. At first I was disappointed to hear they are discontinuing these models butmaybe the value will hold strong when the time comes to sell it(if I ever let that happen!)
I think you need to consider what type of riding you mainly do & what features are more important to you. Have you had the chance to test ride them both?
Either way, you should buy the Custom - IMHO

I personally think the custom is what a classic motorcycle should look like. I love it. However, like said before, you need to decide what kind of riding you do. That is why I went with one with a fairing, I am doing more long rides and it is nice to have the fairing when you normally ride at least 100 miles per ride. Most importantly, get what you want. If you get what someone else likes, you always want something else.

I chose the RK Classic...I am not a big fan of the way the fairing looks and I much prefer the older nostelgic type look..... the ' 07 RK's comes with the Quick Detatch Windsheild...nice for longer,mostly highway rides and off within seconds for the Wind in Your Face rides...if I may offer a suggestion I chose the Classic over the Custom because of the Cruise Control which is GREAT . But as mentioned earlier GET WHAT YOU want and you cant go wrong

I like the traditional looks of the RK, but I bought the RG for touring and handling. The fixed fairing is the most stable as it is connected to the frame rather than the forks when those trucks roll by. Also is better in crosswinds and nible around town as the fairing's weight is not on those forks. I had a 1200 Sportster Custom for 3 years prior and had my share of wind and trucks on long rides... It was a great bike around town, however.
I also like the dash layout better than the the other glides (more room). Kinda off topic here, but the batwing design does provide excellent wind protection, however.
