Well...it's time. I have a FXDC, love it, upgraded it...but the King is for me. I will take an a**whippin on the trade, luckily I paid cash for TTL, had 6.25% financing and didn't go to crazy on the bling. Dealer is coming close to pay-off, reduced some of the b-s add-ons like shipping/freight and set-up. Out the door for $20K, zero down @ 7%. Bike had a couple of add ons...rider essential kit and some highway pegs. So I will be back at it for bars and pipes later this summer. Ahhh hell, it's only money right?

I looked for something used...but there was nothing out there.

I want to thank all who posted on this site...especially those who took the time to post a picture. It was an easy decision after seeing the great work and designs.

Looking forward to posting some pics once I get somethings upgraded!!

 

Sounds like an exciting day ahead of you. Send us some pics when you get it...

 

hey, congrats, and good luck....only thing that threw me was when you said "looked for used but there was nothing out there"....man...in my lifetime I've never SEEN so many good deals on used...05 Roadkings, done-up, all over the place for 13-14K....but new is nice too....Semper Fi..

 

They got used o8 all over rental bikes from last summer. but new is cool.

 

Congrats on the new scoot.

 

Congrats on the new King. I hope you enjoy yours as much at I do mine

 

Gotta love the King!
I ride mine twice a week, and just installed a set of wide whites and lace wheels and it has never looked better.
They dont call it the King for nothing.

 

RoadKing's are nice !!! I would have to change the handlebars.
I guess that's a whole new can of worms now with this goofy new
throttle thing.

 

Thanks to all. Apologies--when I say I looked used, I meant used inventory at the dealership--I need a place to trade...not much interest in used Dyna's around here...bike was listed for weeks without a call.

My new bike is nice, love it. Will need new pipes for sure...thing sounds like a hoover vacuum machine compared to my old pipes.

I hate to dredge up about another long post about best slip on pipes...so I will fish around. Leaning toward the Rinehart's.

 

Congrats, great choice, I sold a Fatboy 06 and bought a RK 08 and love it. Best money I have spent was the Rinehart TD and HD Pro RaceTuner and SEAC. I love the sound and the look. All ind of other stuff added but those are the most noticeable and biggest expense, well worth it. Sergeant206
