I have been riding a 51 pan for over tweenty years now, & have just bought a new RKC. I will alway like my panhead, but I love my Road king. I bought the road knig because it reminds me of my pan. check out the pic of them both getting along. they live under the same roof, my garage. Nothing wrong with having electric start 12 volt light & oh yeah a 6 speed tranny.
