Hi Everyone new here...I've rode off and on for years but didn't step up to the big twins until Nov '10. Love the Road King with open cockpit and nostalgic feel, however after 18k, felt a fairing and few luxuries were needed. Being the working stiff and getting only a couple of weeks a year, I have to boiler plate my long distant riding. Get where yer going hang for a day or so (family) and on to the next destination. The FLHR provides great ride good response and flashes at the ladies, but the cold and rain feels like perdition when you have to punch through it...sigh....fairing. Took a year to zero in on the 2012 FLTRXSE. The cockpit is open and the fairing bubbles the weather around the rider not to mention tunes and power...the cash is down, hopefully I can get a cobalt. Enjoy the site a lot of good info. Going to keep the FLHR.
Here is an up date on the 2012 FLTRXSE. The dealer called today and said, "bike will be here Aug 31"...right on...I will introduce with pictures. I am like a kid in a candy store. Now the wait begins, BTW great suggestions to go over the bike with a fine tooth comb before sig goes on title.
