[QUOTE="dustyrains, post: 788530, member: 18764"] I own both a 1994 Road King and a 2006 FJR AE. The RK has been upgraded with Performance Machine brakes, Progressive rear suspension, a Race Tech Gold Cartridge emulator in the forks, and a 124 inch S&S SuperSidewinder Engine, with a Vance and Hines 2 into 1 ProPipe. I have also installed heated grips, a Russel Day Long saddle, cruise control, and many other upgrades. And yet I still ride my FJR about 99% of the time. The RK is still a kick to ride for short distance in a straight line, and the way it sounds will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, but it's not my choice for most of the riding I do. You won't be able to ride a stock RK at nearly the same pace through corners or pass at will, as on an FJR. When I want to really get out and enjoy the Destination Highways of the great Pacific North West, the FJR is my ride. An analogy might be the difference between driving a 60's muscle car and a late model Porsche Carrera. If you can afford to own both, do it. If not, and you really enjoy riding rather than profiling, get the FJR. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
