It's all been said. It's good to be King!.. I don't go for all the add ons just some strap on luggage,passenger backrest to strap it to,and I can travel light. Don't like fairings,cuts out close proximity vision. Hot rod the motor,and you have the best of all worlds. A big,comfortable bike that hauls *** and hauls the freight.

I moved up from a FXDWG and looked at and rode many bikes in the touring line before I pulled the trigger on my RKC. Something about the King kept pulling me back and I don't regret my decision.
Love the King!

I loved my King, but wanted to upgrade to full plastic, thus the Road Glide Ultra I'm riding now.

But - whats not to like about a Road King with apes? I do miss the bike, but not looking back...

Yep went from Street Glide to Road King, and I love it

Well said...I strip mine down in the summer and then add my shield and soft lowers in the winter.
