Hi all,
The wife and I just got home from Daytona. We were a week late for bike week but still enjoyed our time at HD, J&P, Houlagin's and Iron Horse. I am hoping to attend my first Bike week in 2014. In the mean time I am still trying to narrow down what I want and would like some help in deciding.
1. I have been set on a Road King but I like the front fairing look of the street glide just not the price. What is the difference between an RK and an SG? i.e. frame, length, suspension etc..
2. Do people add the SG front fairing to their RK's?? If so how hard and what all is needed?
3. I love the Black Cherry color and it looks like I will need to go back to a 2007 model to get it. My concern is, should I be concerned with FI vs. Carb??? I have heard that there are\were a lot of issues with the FI's. Is this true? If so what years to stay away from?
4. I think I have asked this one before so I apologize if I have. I am pretty sure that used from a private owner is the way I go since cost is much lower and add-ons already made compared to what a dealer would charge. Any advice on how to shop for a used private owner bike? Any reason not to buy used other than just having the perceived assurances when buying from a dealer???
5. Do online bluebook values reflect what a used bike should actually sell for??
Thanks all!
