does any one own a 2011 road king I,M THINKING OF BUYING ONE ANY INFO WOULD BE COOL

 

Test ride.

Yeah, do have one. Love the bike with a passion. What do you need to know Skullster?

Keepin an eye on this thread.

just what you thought of the bike ovrall any little prob my misses want me to get a bike so she can come with me do a bit of over night rides  thanks

No prob. As I said I am a fan of the RKC. The 103 motor is a fabulous thing. Still can not get over passing cars in 6th gear out on the road. ABS brakes take alot of getting used to, but once you work it out they are very good. Standard wind screen spot on. I have two tone premium paint on mine and it is a really nice paint job, beautifull finish.( gold metal flake Merlot on Cherry Red) All in all a really good package for a Harley. I have owned older models and these are a big advance on them. Only draw backs I havce found is, the seat comfort for the pillion, my lady tells me is not good. have a mate who is on his third RKC and he tells me the first thing he does is fit an Electraglide seat to them. Also if you are like me and have had Electraglides all your life , you get the impression that the saddle bags are a bit smaller then the glide. My missus has her own bike ( 07 Street Bob) so trips with her on the back are rare, although the bike handles it very well. This is why I went for the RKC. I feel it out handles the Electraglide by miles and being fractionally liighter it is quicker. Having said all that if you are planning alot of 2 up riding I would recommend the Streetglide. ( at time of purchase the Ellectraglide was actually cheaper than the RKC) Best thing though is to test ride both of them. make up your own mind. I did and settled on the RKC.

As for you hilly, just remember " old age and treachery beat youth and skill any time". Ha ha My story and I am sticking to it !

thanks mate we sw a street glide there when we looked at the road king very nice in lime green decisions decisions

Hi Skullster,

 I brought a 2011 RK in Feb and it has been great except for an oil leak which was fixed by dealer (from around the oil cooler). I had a fatboy previous for about 9 years and did a lot of mods on it to get to ride how I like it, with the RK the only thing I have done is add slip ons (Monster ovals). The bike handles great and the cruise control is fantastic for the high way, I  2 up most of the time and the air shocks are great. I think if your looking for something that can do short rides and tours as good as each one then the RK is it.

Actually skullster I have a foot in both camps. Gotta admit for a mad ass scream around the place can not beat that street bob. We have Harley race tune , stage 1 air intake, and vance and Hines Black ceramic short shot exhaust to match the flat black colour of the bike. Its my partner Peggy Sue s bike and she calls me a bloody hoodlum!

Electraglide, Streetglide all the same to me, they are all FLHs
