Ive been looking to buy an HD for a loooong time.. Wasnt really planning on getting a new one. However my wife has hinted at the fact she has bought me one and had a few things changed around. She wont give me much more detail than that. Im supposed to be picking it up next Friday. She has stated that the soft bags were replaced with hard bags, has also said there is a radio in the bags as well, changed out the stock bars for 16in apes and possibly from the sound of it put CVO wheels on it. This is just some info I have pieced together and realize the terminology from the dealer thru her could have changed. My question is, I have not really done any homework on the 14's.. Can you guys give me a crash course on some of the changes that have been done. Any info would help.. I feel as if Im going in blind lol.. Im crazy excited but a little apprehensive at the same time because I ALWAYS research my purchases...

 

There is no RKC for '14 in the U.S., only the RK but, but you can get a RK with laced wheels & WWW's.

 

Sounds like a nice bike, but to me, seems like a lot of 'personalized' changes for a Road King 'Classic', which noted above, isn't a current model. Did your wife know that these are the type of changes you would want, like the hard-bags and 16" apes, or was the bike set-up for another buyer and the deal fell through?

 

Probably would have been a good idea to test ride a few but I think you will like it.

 

Like I said Im sure alot of what she has been told she has twisted around lol.. She does know that I prefer the hard bags over the soft bags, and she knew I wanted 16in bars. Ive test rode a few RK's with 16in bars and LOVE the ride...

 

Pretty cool that your wife can surprise you like that... my wife used to try, but not anymore. I'm one of those pain-in-the-butt people that any major, or even minor purchases, I want to pick everything... brand, model, color, style. But I do like it when she gets the checkbook out and says 'let's go shopping...'!

 

Maybe she found a new leftover '13 RKC like I did? If so you will be one happy man; went for the first ride on mine today and I was VERY impressed!

 

Wow, you're one lucky SOB! My last birthday my wife gave me a book on how to successfully diet. Got sex later, but seriously, a diet book?

 

Just say thank you dear! THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!

She's a keeper, the wife that is!!

 

Normally She would not try and make huge decisions like this, But we have talked about a bike for a looong time, Ive told her the specifics that id like right out of the gate so she has used that to her advantage.. If all goes to plan Ill be able to finally post some pics of a bike that I own on this forum after being a member here for several years lol...
