Default Road King Classic Questions

I'm thinking of purchasing an 11 Road King Classic and have a few questions.

1. How is the stock seat for driver and passenger?
2. What is the wheel option, looks like chrome spokes but what are the standard spokes?
3. And lastly if anything what would you change before you pick it up? Any must haves right off the bat? I was thinking definitely the passenger back rest but was unsure if the stock seat was comfortable enough.

Thanks

That was a well-done and informative video. Do they have any similar videos available for other procedures?

If you watch the video, it shows him just removing the cam cover and cam plate screws in a clockwise pattern. Any part that has a specific torque sequence for assembly should also be removed in torque sequence. It's not as critical with the cam chest as it is in other places, but is a good habit to develop. When you go removing your heads, you definitely want to follow the torque sequence.

Seems like going with adjustable pushrods saves alot of time, as the top end is untouched.

It definitely saves time, but removing the rocker boxes isn't all that big of a job. Maybe adds an hour to the job. You get a some of that back by not having to mess around with pushrod adjustment. Depending on how long you mess around with the adjustable pushrods, it might not save much time at all.
