what was I missing

I,m over 50 years old and have ridin hondas since i was a kid.i bought a used 2005 Roadking and found out what i was missing,loved the ride,but it had alot of miles on it. so it was time to upgrade and i got a 2009 roadking and wow what a difference!the same but different.

The 09 RK is more nimbl...e and has better brakes and 6 speed trans means you pick how fast or slow you wanna go. I loved my 05, but lust over the 09. Read Full Review

Awesome

Awesome, This is my 5th H/D and 2nd Road King Classic. This bike puts the previous years to shame. If there was one thing that I could have changed it would be the spoke wheels, but then it would not be a King Classic!
Awesome! Read Full Review

09 Road King Classic Rear Suspension Suspension

From the very first ride this bike was bottoming out bad. I hit a rut by a bridge and almost came off the bike. I had to go to the Chiro when I got back to town. I called the dealer Toys For Big Boys in Moncton NB and was told that they hadn't put air in the rear suspension, and that is what they a...re told to do by Harley Davidson.

Needless to say the air went in and it wasn't much better. We tried all different pressures , nothing seemed to work. They swapped out the rear unit for a new one and it was the same.

They recommended that I go to Progressive. I did to Progressive 440's.
Harley would not compensate me saying that I was the only one with this problem. The dealer would only compensate me for the value of the stock unit about $285.00. So I had to pay an additional $685.00 for the Progressives. The bike was still hitting hard. I put up with this for that season. At the beginning of the following season I still complained with no result.
I then found out that the dealer had ordered the standard 440's and not the heavy duty as I instructed. I had to get the heavy duty Springs shipped at my expense. The dealer would not even swap them out so I had to also do this at my own expense.

I like the performance , but even with the Heavy Duty Springs this bike isn't giving me the ride my Yammy did.
When I came in here I was expecting to read similar comments, I am surprised.
Maybe most have always ridden Harley and are unaware what a good rear suspension is. Read Full Review
