    Hey fellas,

    Thinking about trading my '10 Deluxe for a '11 Road King for smoother more plush ride (I have a fucked back)....

    How is the rear suspension of the new tourers??? Are they truly a big improvement over the softails?  I only weigh 72kgs and always ride solo - worried the RK suspension might be a bit too FIRM....

    Cheers, berms.

    Picked up my new RKC in December 2010. I am 58 years old and have owned many cars and bikes. To date the RKC is the nicest piece of kit I have ever owned. Love that 103 cu in engine and the handling is far better than my old (96) Glide. Can recommend the bike.
