Buy it. I'm 5'8" and have no concerns about fitment (rode over 1400 miles this weekend). You'll like the big motor cuz you'll have the power when you need it and within a month you'll be back on the forum asking how to get more poop out of your bike. I have 4 different bikes and, to me, the Road King is the best all round bike you can get. Great for cruising around the block or around the state. Hope this helps.
ps.everybody will be drueling (or is it drewling) over your Screamin Eagle.

 

Get the damm thing and quit worrying about being scared....I see woman handle bigger bikes...You won't turn back from a road king......

 

Absolutely agree 100%.

 

It is a CVO. I can get it for about 2000 to 2500 under KBB and NADA value.. I will be test riding it Thursday.

 

Road Kings are the best bike in the HD line up. If you have concerns consider the rental idea Whiskers suggested.

 

Bring your checkbook and a camera cuz after you ride it you'll buy it and then we all want to see pics.

 

Once you drive it, you'll be buy'in it Thursday....I agree with mjmangus, you will get used to the motor and it won't be scary anymore.

 

Buy it!!!!!

I love my road king.

 

If it's got the 20" windshield, just cut it down to fit. buy one that's too short and you'll hate it. too tall and it'll drive you crazy looking thru it.

 

You will find when you ride it that the King has a very low center of gravity and it practically balances itself. Once you ride it, you will love it. Like others have said, bring your checkbook. Bring your camera too so you can post the "my new bike" pics. One other thing...Have fun!
