Anyone have 2009 Police Road Kings on orde?r

[Mickeys-Customs]

My PD ordered two 09 RK's and we should have them in a month or so.

Our current bikes are 07's and I heard the 08 with the larger fuel tanks and other changes take some getting use to.

Any input on the 08's handeling any different? I'm curious and wonder if it will affect officers in my area when it comes to for re-cert

no real difference between the 08's and the 07 and earlier. The friggun seat don't flip up so when it rains you have a wet seat. i did not notice one iota of difference on recert other than the brakes were much better on the 08's. Oh and it does not clunk nearly as loud when you hit the starter.

I have an '08 Road King and the seat flips up. All I have to do is pull the pin on the seat post. I never knew the purpose was to keep it dry in the rain. Live and learn.
