No you don't need a longer one but I did not like the lean on the stock so I got a longer one. I do like it better but that's up to you.

I am trying to do the same thing on my 2019 RKS. I wired up a molex to sae adapter (had a spare molex connector and a sae pigtail) and am getting the correct voltage but for some reason it is not charging via my Battery Tender USB Charger Adaptor. The adapter works off of my charging port but not this connection? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Awesome looking bike! How is the wind protection - and what is your height? Thx.

Super hot bike! Which led head lights did you install? Happy with them? Thanks. Rex

Works as expected. Let’s clean air float around, with no dirty turbulence. Takes the blast off of my chest. I can ride with my visor up till about 60.

I’m 5’8”

Thanks. If you don't mind, I would love to see more pictures of the bike with the fairing on.

Looks like I might pick up one of these tomorrow a 2019 a local dealer is giving a good deal on. At least I think so.
This would be my first Harley.
Did you consider any other bikes before you bought this one? And why did you pick the Road a King Special?
Should I be worried about the sumping issue ?
Why does the sales manager call me brother ?
Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you ride it and like it, I think you’re making a good call. The RKS is a PERFECT motorcycle in my opinion. Very lean, simple and minimal...but crazy well made and absolutely luxurious feeling despite being so stripped down and to the point.

Might want to try a Heritage also...a little lighter and a bit more raw. Fun in a different flavor.

Both great motorcycles.

of course, being your first Harley...might as well try as many as you can. Everyone gets surprised sometimes.
