Hi all,
Well, I have made a decision to join the Harley ranks soon after spending all of my riding career on one of those other makes. Currently ride a 1100 sport touring rig. I have found a few ultras (89-93 models) that I think I can get into for what I have to spend. Have a friend who recently bought a 2001 Road King. I like the look of no top box but I know that the wife would appreciate the extra security of a box. Can I remove the box for solo riding to have a little more sleek look and then put it on for when the wife or child want to ride along? Are there kits or other considerations for this? Saw in the Harley Buyers Guide a picture of one with the top box removed and a windshield instead of the full fairing. Like that look also.
Any other things to consider and look for when purchasing a tourer of this vintage? How much is mileage a concern? Thanks in advance to all. Just found this site and have scoured much info already!
