Sold my 2017 M8 Limited after 35k miles for a 2007 Road King Custom. Wife quit riding and i went back to something i love. Had a 98 RK before. No need for music, fairing, or tour pak when its just me. I love traveling days on end just feeling the wind and hearing those Rhinehart's rumble.

That’s awesome. There’s so many people that don’t realize it until you ride one of these, then you fall in love.

I have 95000 kms on my 14 RK, Probably around 59000 miles. Damn thing is still tight as a drum. You might want to consider swapping those bars for the stock later year handle bars like on my 14. On a side note, that prepper is pretty much on to something. just need to turn on the TV. Cheers Bob

@BoDean52 No I didn't actually. Brought my GSA in for a recall and there it was!! Like a shiny penny. This bike was more expensive then lower mileage bikes of around the same year. Last owner was a 75 year old. Thing was immaculate. The RK is now my #1

Hi Mr bodean I love your roadking...... I have a 2008 roadking and it's that candy red colour and I love it. I put 20 inch apes on her and there to high. Now I'm thinking of putting on beach bar but that more money. I also have a 2023 road glide limited that I bought new and last week I was out on the king and I said GOD I HAVE MISSED U.......... love your videos from ireland. ...

Couldn't agree with you more! I bought a "very low" mileage 100th Anniversary Wide Glide for a song, and I love it. But just between us, it ain't no Road King. Those Road Kings are the bomb! 💣

When I started wanting a Harley, I wanted a Heritage or Road King, will say the Heritage always caught my eye. I looked at both when I finally could afford one, they both have that old school appeal. My RKC is 2002 and does have cruise, but she my only bike and I do long highway trips, so cruise is must for me.

I have an 05 ultra classic that is getting the oil pump upgrade comes with hydraulic chain tensioner, lifters ,timing chain ,gaskets and rocker box gaskets, those are starting to leak. I have 35,000 miles on it and have kept the oil changed every 3,000 miles. It's a keeper like your RK . Stay focused and have fun!

I love my 2011 Road King. I did the cams, bars, Saddleman seat, exhaust and filter. Oh and extended floorboards and rear brake and shift levers, CRAP, I can go on and on. Thought it was going to be a short list, but uhhhh no. Anyway my point is, I love it, wouldn’t ever sell it. Heck I wouldn’t be able to get back what I put in it if I wanted to! 😂

Very enjoyable video as I agree with you about simplicity of the Road King as I have 2006 Custom. I also ride a 2022 StreetGlide ST and a Yamaha FJR1300... the King will never be sold, smooth and silky that reminds me of an old Caddy. Great video!

I have a 2001 Road King and many times I play with the idea of jumping on a street glide or ultra glide... but every time I sit behind the wheel and I see this headlight and the fact that I can see exactly what is happening in front of the front tire, I forgive him even for not having a cruise control.. take care 💪

I don't have a Road King, I have an 06 Electra Glide Ultra Classic. I completely redid the bike in 2020 and I'm the same way as you are, I wouldn't give up my bike for nothin '. And I would own this bike before I would buy an overpriced new bike all day long.

In regards to buying a new bike verses a used one. It’s really the gadgets. Are the new gadgets worth 30-35K? The Road King has the guts and a couple bags enough to travel.

Haha, I was just saying last week the exact same thing about preppers 😂 Maybe they’re not as crazy as I thought. And it is amazing how light the King feels now after being on the Road Glide. Love the song 😀
