Default softail to RK

Thinking about trading my 07 flstc for a new 09 road king. My wife also has an 07 flstc, but sometimes she rides behind me and doesn't care much for the ride. We do several cross country runs and 600+ mile days. What to expect? Don

I went from a softail to a Road King, and there is a reason why the call it the KING, once you go to a bagger, there is no turning back.

Same here went from FLSTN to RK. Really No comparison. The FLSTN was fun BUT the RK is much more pleasurable to ride particularly on the long haul.
Come to the Dark Side!!! You won't regret it!

Cheers

Same here went from a dyna low rider to a RK Classic, would like to have kept the low rider for short rides but now that I have had the King for a few years I would not go back. Much more comfy to ride on.

Default made the switch

I went from a deluxe to a streetglide and wish I would have much sooner. IMO no comparison in ride and handling around town or on the highway.
