I rode one and had to have one. Love the RK also but on a 100 mile+ ride you will wish you had the bat wing and radio.

Got my RKC back in 02 and now added a 07 FLHTP this april. Hate to say it but the FLHTP gets more road time.

I went with the RKC.
I put the 17" short windshield , and cruise away.
If I'm hittin' the highway, I sit lower in the seat, legs on the pegs, and go.

Also added my own tunes.

And thats a good thing cause full dressers only come in just one color - black!

I had an 08 RK and loved it. Just bought the 09 Street Glide and can't believe how much more fun riding the SG is. I've never riden a bike that feels this good. I'm an old F-16 pilot, with the lazy boy like recliner seat. The SG give me a similar feeling of sitting IN the bike, as apposed to sitting on tip of it like the RK.

I didn't like the fairing as well but my bike has the riding lights that look just like the Electra Glide.

I spent about a hour walking back N forth between a SG and a RK! I just knew I wanted it in Red Hot SunGlo! (superficial b1tch that I am!!) I wanted hard bags, did'nt care about radio, and such! But I loved that drop *** look of the SG! YET.........Momma had to be happy!!! Test rode a SG and it rode like a POS compared to my Heritage!! Nixed by the boss!! After talking to several owners/ dealers they conveyed the test ride had no air in the shocks!!!!SO I rode another SG with air!! OH yea!!!!!!!!!!!!! I take mine in for the first service this weekend!! I love it!! All the stuff I did'nt care about!!!!!!!! Rocks!!!! It's a helluva bike!! It took me 49 years to get my first Harley! It was a hard give up ! But I'm looking back a whole lot less than I thought I would!!
