I'm curious to hear your opinion about the pros and cons of both bikes. Congrats!
Well, right out of the box I am much happier with the StreetGlide. My RoadKing was a great bike after I changed the bars (which wasn't a cheap date). As far as comfort, I would say the RoadKing has a more plush ride. Not that the StreetGilde is bad just different. Although, passenger comfort the RoadKing wins. Took my wife for 150 mile ride this past weekend and she was not happy with the StreetGlides comfort. This will sounds bad BUT her comfort is not a concern to me as she only rides with me a couple times a year. I am very comfortable on the StreetGlide so no mods needed for my comfort. I like the looks of the StreetGlide and over all ride so for me having the stereo, and fariing the StreetGlide would be my choice between the two. Not that anything is wrong with the RoadKing. I could have driven that bike all day everyday and been happy but since I had the option to trade I am very happy with my choice.
I almost bought a FF edition bike until I saw the shade of red they use. Not appealing. Then the dealer told me that FF editions are harder to sell as a used bike. Got the Road Glide Black Denim. I like your bike and being not too far from you, I'll probably give you the two fingers at some time.
RoadGlide Black Denim, I would have been all over one of those. Great looking bike and I love that paint. Yes, the red is different than our engines for sure. Never really understood why that was? And yes, my dealer had told me the same thing about them being a little harder to sell. I put a bunch of extras on it like 16" apes, backrest, pipes all sorts of bling and it only had 2100 miles on it. I hope it's a quick sell for him. I have a great dealership here that I buy all my goodies from. A lot of my Chicago friends come up her to buy there bikes and goodies from them too.
I couldn't trade every year, there is never enough time with our short riding season to get the feel of it being mine. I put a set of Ultra takeoff shocks on mine to improve the ride. Nice bike, what are you thinking of getting in another 5 months ?

Not sure? I would say I wouldn't mind trying something with the 103? Maybe a RoadGlide Ultra? Never know though, if the market drops off here and I can't keep trading and keeping the payment where it needs to be I may just keep a bike for a change? Gotta say it that happens I will not have any problems keeping this one!
