I own a 2023 model and changed the handlebars direct for 14" apes. Put Kahuna heated grips on it. SE Streetcanons and a Stage1 tune! A Freedomshields 18" windscreen, rear crashbars and some small things. It is very capable and very fast in the mountains:-)) Lovely scenery btw....Here in Holland it's boring, flat and raining since 8 months now!!!! (go I forgot...I changed the rear shocks for 13" instead the stock 12".....more stroke, more clearance, more comfy)

Awesome bike Harley’s nicest bare bones bagger. Not a fan of the big old fairings on the street or road glides. I’ve got a ‘21 RKS and absolutely love it. Handles and rides great but first upgrade I did was 16” apehangers didn’t like the feel of the stock bars. I would definitely buy another RKS if I was buying a new bike again

Traded my 2023 LRST Fast J (awesome paint scheme) for 2023 RKS w 114 Stage 1 (believe all '23s have 114). Hands down I prefer the RKS cuz i'm 6'6" and even with mods could never get comfortable on the LR. It was a beast, though. The RKS even with stage 1 cannot compete. All that said, I love the RKS package as a whole. Fast enough, very comfortable, handles great and looks fantastic especially sans windshield.
@MakaJerychoАй бұрын
The RKS defo suit your frame at 6’6!!! I can imagine the LRST would be too small. Add a stage 2 torque cam!!! It’ll change the game with the RKS

I bought the 2023 Roadking S, phenomenal bike. Mine has the 117 in it tho. Wonder if it is different because mine's a US bike. Yeah, love the acceleration, and the nimbleness. Immediately changed exhaust to a set of Neighbor Haters. Has a great rumble to it now. Definitely glad I bought it.

Great vlog maka. Ive just purchased a softail slim from riding a 1200 sporty and this was my exact thoughts word for word. Its nice to ride, handles well and leans even though it has floorboards. Its just missing something. Its fitted with a 107 so should be faster. Ive always said Harley only give you half a bike! You have to buy what you like to make it yours. 119 should do it. Thankyou California!!😂😂😂

Your softail slim is an ideal replacement for a sporty! Them and street bobs. Light agile and with a stage 2 cam on the 107 will rip nicely!

Great vid. I think ‘refinement’ is the word you’re looking for. I have the 107 RKS with 465 cam and Öhlins suspension. Fantastic bike with great performance. I had the Low Rider ST on test the other week whilst mine was in for a service and it was fun, but for me the touring chassis is just so much better. With a torque cam the 107 is much punchier low down than the stock 117 in the Low Rider ST. I think you’ll probably like the ST though. It’s lighter and more aggressive. I have a sportsbike for those days so sitting back and chilling is the order of the day on the Harley

Always liked the road king 114 I think it was 2020 they brought a midnight blue paint job out that looked black until the sun light brought the blue flake out so very cool I keep toying with the idea of buying a road king but do you go new or and older model for more character and cooler looks it’s a toughy
@MakaJerycho3 ай бұрын
I’d buy one with the 114 engine that’s already been stage 1 or stage 2. With that extra power, the road king s would be perfect. I’ve seen the midnight blue and it’s a beauty. My fav is the 2018 model that was in the olive green colour 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
