I had two deposits on a SG, but just before the right color came in, I rode a friend's EG.&nbsp\\; The fairing just didn't look right to me\\; too many guages that I didn't want.&nbsp\\; I bought instead my second RK.&nbsp\\; Both are great bikes\\; two of Harley's best.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

I like the ability to take the windshield off the RK and go buzz around town and strip it down.&nbsp\\;I like my buddies SG but I like to see the front fender and not have anything block my view in front of me.&nbsp\\; Buy a radio for the RK and you'll have the best of all worlds.

i see your not ready to give up the lowrider love so opt for the king because anything with a fairing looks like a oldcouples bike ,LOL unless you have deep pockets and upgrade the wheel`s and a custom paint.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;

I've got the Road King, and just put the Dead Center Fairing on it.&nbsp\\; Love the tunes, just returned from a little 3 dayer over 1000 miles, and the music is great.&nbsp\\; Best of both worlds, home, pull the fairing off in 2 minutes, and I'm stripped down to a 60's classic to cruise around town.&nbsp\\; (Got to admit it though, as I age that Ultra is looking pretty damn good!)&nbsp\\; Good Luck, CCRyder
