      @@OneDownGeneUp One opinion is why Harley doesn't go all in for led lighting. I just changed my turn signals and tail light. What's really cool is I had a 1968 Mustang Fastback that I sold last year and the money I got from that sale went to the purchase of my Harley. This ties in with the tail light I bought. It has three separate lights just like a classical Mustang has. So now I have a memory on my bike to remind me of my former car.

    Harley's are well balanced so the bike doesn't feel like a slug going down the road or when you have come to a stop.

    Living here in a tiny rural town in the foothills of the mountains of Washington State, I don't have any routine rides. Every time I get on one of my bikes I don't usually have a specific place to go. I just enjoy going down the hills and curves of the mountain roads here. Although I do have a few annual rides I take, Mt St Helens, and ABATE of Washington's Spring Opener, nothing on a weekly or biweekly timing. Sissy bar on the Heritage would look OK especially with a bag. But ride the bike you are most comfortable with.

    What is the difference between the heritage in the road king?

    • @OneDownGeneUp
      @OneDownGeneUp  3 роки тому

      Hey Oscar, thanks for watching! The main differences that matter to most people are:
      1. RK is built on the Touring frame, whereas HC is built on the new Softail frame.
      2. The RK weighs about 80lbs more than the HC.
      3. The RK has hard painted bags where the HC has leather-trimmed hard bags. The RK bags are said to hold a bit more. Largely an aesthetic choice though.
      I felt most comfortable handling the Softail frame for my size, so that’s what decided it for me; it handles very well around the city, and still has a nice planted feel on the highway. Very smooth bike.
