Road Glide = Great scoot
Road King = Great scoot
Ride em both and make a decision, your cash, your ride, etc etc,

 

I agree with the post on the Road Glide especially for tall persons.. I am 6'5" and tried 11 different touring bikes.... in short.....the Road Glide fit the best and with Heritage bars, tall boy seat and longhorn offset highway pegs I can really streatch out. The fixed fairing is also great for touring....much better than my former windscreen...

No doubt the King can tour but the glide is just set up better for it. If touring is not a necessity.. then go King

But to each his own.

My brother has the the RK, I love to ride it, he loves to ride my RG. On long trips we will switch off with each other often. Both good for touring, both good for bonding, both a hell of alot of fun. Your choice, you can't go wrong either way.

 

I opted for a King. with a add on fairing from DCC I have the best of both worlds.

'03 RK Anniv Ed, V&H Monster Ovals, FuelPak, TourPak, K&N air filtration, MOCO Thunderstar wheels, DCC Fairing and tunes, Mustang 2pc seat.

 

............. what-phucking-ever, ...........sure, folks will point..... then those who know will nod their heads.

 

My being old school made my choice a no brainer.Also like being able to pull the shield and bags for some hot rodding around.Besides that lump of fiberglass in front makes the bike look cumbersome to me.

 

Funny thing is it is the furthest thing from cumbersome. The shark nose slices through the wind way better than any bike with a tombstone, clamp on piece of lexan!

Cracks me up, all the long standing negative comments about the RG faring...

RG owners are too busy riding their bikes to worry about such BS. I guess it makes sense though...it seems like most of the guys on the other "traditional" looking HD's prefer looking at their bikes while parked in front of watering holes anyway.

Whatever your cup of tea is...

 

LOL! This is what they all say until they've cruised the twisties listening to some tuneage. Nothin' like jamming to a bit of Thin Lizzy or Aerosmith while easin' down a country road... You'll never feel the need to "justify" the lack of a stereo again.

 

I don't know about that, I think mine does a pretty good job of slicin' and dicin'...

 

I bought a Mustang once. I did not ask others should I buy a mustang or a camero. I bought what I like. I knew what I wanted. Is one bike better than another. NO!!!!!
It is all in what YOU want. That is why we have choices. You make the call. Buy cause of ride? I have rode different styles all over from trips to local rides. The choice is yours. The bike will be in your garage. Get the one that will make you feel good about what you have.
