The All things ROAD KING SPECIAL THREAD

Thanks Pirate. I was just reading about that. Very cool. Might be the fix I need without actually raising the bike in a noticeable way. I had a '16 RK and it was great but the higher seat height was something I had to "manage" and it made riding a little more stress at times. I was shocked by how much more I enjoyed the RKS and the slightly lower stance basically made it as manageable as a Sporty for me so I really don't want to give that up, but happy to get back some of the ride quality.

it was my stupid move when for some reason I decided to make a u turn on the gravel driveway at the rental house we stayed in when went to smoky mountains. Damn gravel got everywhere, crash bars dipped into it. I’ve been beating myself since then.

Thanks Pirate my mistake I thought I saw 14" shocks mentioned before. I just did the same as you replacing my stock 12s with 13s but using Drag Specialties shocks. I was surprised how cheesey the HD shocks were especially the size of the coil spring on the right side.
