I am in total agreement. I just happened to walk into my local dealership the day after they got this. I walked through the front door, saw it on the showroom floor under the lights and said “mine”
Beautiful bike, got to be one of the best naked cruisers around. Tire pressure monitoring is such a great feature, awesome pipes, rear seat and rack setup is very cool. That green is the Perfect color to go with the black. Dream bike for sure 👍
Very nice bike. Love that color. You sound young enough that you weren't born when I bought my Road King in 1994. I still have it, it's all original and I keep it shiny.
I spotted one at Space Coast HD in Florida , it's definitely a eyecatcher ... Two weeks later when I got to home base in Tennessee , guess what's in my garage 😎 👍👊🇺🇲
At first I wasn't sure about this color but it's grown on me and on this bike it's fan f ING tastic! Your bike with the seat and the black luggage rack and all uts out of this world man. I suppose there are a few things more that could be done but I love it the way it is. Beautiful beautiful bike!
Looks great. Trying to find one here in Texas. RKS Deadwood Green. Looks like I’ll have to order from Harley and wait. Air, power cam and full exhaust as soon as it gets here. Then Setting it up with End Game package.
Bad ass bike man! My favorite model currently. Had $8K ready to put down on one last year and lost my job due to Covid. I ate through my savings quickly while looking for another job. Not sure I’ll ever achieve the dream now.
Buddy, you picked a GREAT color on your RKS! New subscriber, looks like you’re in Iowa, where my roots are. Hope to see a lot more Harley content from you out on the trail, throwing down some miles, maybe camping off the bike. Got a bunch of good dudes out here I should point you to, to subscribe with, some relatively close to you, all riding HD’s, who love to share content with you, maybe even ride with you at some point. Great riding community out here; love your choice of Harley!
Do you feel that way due to a lack of stereo? The RKS will take you anywhere and be more comfortable than any other touring model. I can’t speak for a trike, never rode one.
Don’t miss the batwing 1 bit. Majority of my riding is commuting to work. Didn’t listen to music on the SG much either. Plus, look at that RKS. I had to have it. Thanks for watching.
Wow… the paint job looks really beautiful at this light level 😎 enjoy this beauty and ride safe brother 🤙 I'll pick up mine tomorrow 🥳 subscribed & looking forward to watch more. Cheers 🤙
So many people are having buffeting problems with a Street Glide and some say it is the fairing and is better with no fairing at all. Do you get buffeting and helmet wobble with the Road King and was the buffeting allot worse on the Street Glide?
I never had buffeting problems on either bike. Sure it could happen depending on the height of the rider. Street glides are vented through the dash which removes the buffeting effect. I installed a vented windshield on my RKS for the same reason. I have a video on the vented windshield also with more on that subject. Thanks for watching and hope this helps.
@@toeshifter Excellent to know, I am getting a 2023 RKS (in black...unfortunately no green available at the moment) and I do have a TC button, but the seller told me that it is NOT RDRS, it is only traction control and I was in doubt. Thanks a lot.
How ya liking it still? Mine will be here in 2 weeks. I’ll def get the back rest but is the seat that much more diff than the stock on the Normal road kings? The classics I guess? Cause they were cozy as hell when I sat on them the other day
So why the deadwood green over the snake venom. I’ll be upgrading my Dyna for a road king special this year and I’m torn between the two colors. Awesome bike man
@@toeshifter that’s what is drawing my attention, I haven’t seen many of either. I have a black denim bike now. As “not flashy” as I can get haha. How’s it look in the sunlight?
Yes they are. A lot of people have said the stock handlebars are terrible. I think they’re great. With my current setup I don’t get any muscle pain on longer rides. Greatest bike over owned
I really like that deadwood green and I don’t use the radio on the SG very often. I like being in the moment when I ride. Wind, sound of the bike, smells, all that garbage I really enjoy. And the bike is much lighter with a lower CG
Beautiful bike . Love the green. I have a 2018 RKS all black with same seat and 12 inch factory 47 mini malo ape hangers. Question: you said I think that you traded a street glide in for it . I am thinking of getting the cvo in great white but not sure if I will miss the open air riding by having the fairing with me at all times. Is that why you traded yours in ?
I have a habit of seeing something I like and getting it. I have ordered a wind splitter windshield for my RKS. The new RDRS really had me hooked also.
Not much into the blackout look but this is well like yeah man I love it (next thing Harley will come out with is two wheel drive to ride in snow and mud )
I'm glad you like you bike. Just bought the 21 RKS a few weeks ago. Honestly it's just an ok bike. The handlebars suck, the stock seat is hard as a rock, no windshield and the stock headlight is just ok at best. For all the $$ you pay for brand new, you have to put about another 3k into the bike.
I don’t have an issue with the handlebars yet. My bike didn’t leave the dealership without a seat change, exhaust change, 4 point dock, backrest & rear rack. The day maker headlight is far better than any halogen you’ll find in other bikes. Stock Harleys have always been a canvas for customization and making it your own. I’ve got a windshield on order and will probably take mine to Stage 2.
I like the color! Reminds me of a military bike without being military.
NO OTHER WORDS TO IT...WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, AWESOME. Congrats on the ride.
This is, hands down, the single most sexy bike I’ve ever laid my eyes on

Hell Yeah!
Awesome bike. Can you share a link to that backrest. Looks amazing. Thank you in advance.
Totally dig my 2020 RKS. Spent so many years on baggers that have become rolling tech platforms. RK- one speedo. What else do you need?
Congrats mate, the most beautiful Road King I have ever seen.
Thank you! She is pretty.
SWEET ride buddy! the Deadwood green started out being my least favorite of 2021:s colours, but hell, I think its the coolest one now!
Agreed!
Its nice to see your comment . As I was exactly the same until I saw it in the flesh . Cheers Billy
Great 👍 Presentation of ur bike..changed my mind on the color...thanks
You bet!
I like the color and the new eletronic toys.... that´s a wonderfull bike. Thanks for your explanation !
👍🏼
Love this bike!! I just bought a Deadwood Green Iron 883... amazing color!! But man, this bike!!!!
We agree! Thanks a lot.
At first I wasn't sure about this color but it's grown on me and on this bike it's fan f ING tastic! Your bike with the seat and the black luggage rack and all uts out of this world man. I suppose there are a few things more that could be done but I love it the way it is. Beautiful beautiful bike!

My favorite color combo Rk in 2021. Sweet bike
Thank you!
Love that color scheme. She looks badass!
Thanks!
sweettttttt :)),,, it almost looks like an army green
Very, very, very beautifull bike, hugs from Brazil.
Looks great.

Beautiful motorbike my friend😁👋
Thank you!
I think RKS is an ideal touring bike for those riders who *rarely* travel long distances but like cruising once in a while and in-town riding.
Do you feel that way due to a lack of stereo? The RKS will take you anywhere and be more comfortable than any other touring model. I can’t speak for a trike, never rode one.
@@toeshifter Im not even thinking of stereo. Windblast is what concerns me when you travel at 70+mph for more than an hour.
@@rolandjosef7961 I see, plenty of viable windshield options for the RKS. I have another video of my vented detachable that I use. It’s great
@@toeshifter yes. I was commenting on an RKS stock. I love this bike a lot and if i own one im definitely get a Memphis shades road Warrior fairing.
Had mine 2weeks... all black !! As of today 543 miles
Very Nice! I’m on day 4 with 235 miles
Awesome color ! Just picked up a 21 RKS in snake venom!
Congrats! They are amazing. RDRS is a game changer
Why did you change from streetglide to roadking? Don’t miss the batwing?
Don’t miss the batwing 1 bit. Majority of my riding is commuting to work. Didn’t listen to music on the SG much either. Plus, look at that RKS. I had to have it. Thanks for watching.
Wow… the paint job looks really beautiful at this light level 😎 enjoy this beauty and ride safe brother 🤙 I'll pick up mine tomorrow 🥳 subscribed & looking forward to watch more. Cheers 🤙
Thanks and welcome to the channel. Congrats on your new ride.
What brand seat and passenger pillion are you using? Thanks.
Harley Davidson Touring Wide Solo Seat and matching pillion
@@toeshifter Thanks! Nice looking bike. Have you decided on a windscreen yet?
@@flyboy30946 I put the Harley Vented Windplitter on it.
@@toeshifter are you happy with wind splitter? Some of the reviews were bad.
@@flyboy30946 I liked it. I don’t have the bike anymore. I now have a 23 SGS.
Very cool bike love the color.
Thank you! I love it too
Great looking bike
Thank you!
Nice ride! Where can I get that seat, backrest and luggage rack?
All from Harley Davidson
Love that seat what kind is that

Also changing the height of the windscreen can remove buffeting.
MEGA 🤘👍
Thanks!
Question about you mentioned RDRS? are you sure it has RDRS or only Traction Control? Thanks
It has RDRS. In the new touring models if you have the TC button then your bike is equipped with RDRS. Thanks for watching.
@@toeshifter Excellent to know, I am getting a 2023 RKS (in black...unfortunately no green available at the moment) and I do have a TC button, but the seller told me that it is NOT RDRS, it is only traction control and I was in doubt. Thanks a lot.
@@brazeagle obviously not buying from a dealer? I hope a dealer didn’t tell you that. Are you in the USA ?
Beautiful bike.
Thank you!
I just bought a 2022 Hayabusa. I have yet to ride it. This video made me list it for sale and buy one of these! That color though ❤️♥️❤️♥️
Sorry for costing you some money and you’re welcome.
Nice Sled Bro
@@kevinstrang11 Thanks!
May be a daft question but do the bags lock when you walk away from the bike or do you need to lock them with a key when you leave the bike?
They need to be locked by a key. Harley makes a kit for electric locks.
Just gorgeous!
👍🏼
Beautiful
Thank you! I agree
How ya liking it still? Mine will be here in 2 weeks. I’ll def get the back rest but is the seat that much more diff than the stock on the Normal road kings? The classics I guess? Cause they were cozy as hell when I sat on them the other day
I don’t run stock seats. The seat was changed before I left the dealership
I do love the look
Looks just like mine, love it, but it's at rhe shop already... my blinker fell off...
Easy fix
Love that color!! What kind of seat on your bike?
Harley Davidsons wide touring low profile
Very nice, very nice indeed.
Thank you!
What seat is that?
@@mikelawton1092 Harley wide touring
Good Looks on the review, I’m really havin a hard time between the RoadKing or the RoadGlide…again good video homie!
Thanks for watching
I had same issue, chose vivid black road king special. I prefer classic riding, no technology . You will not go wrong with either.
Road kind all day . Cheers Billy
So why the deadwood green over the snake venom. I’ll be upgrading my Dyna for a road king special this year and I’m torn between the two colors. Awesome bike man
I don’t care for flashy color schemes or ghosted graphics. I see snake venom bikes everywhere. Not many deadwood greens. It’s just not for me.
@@toeshifter that’s what is drawing my attention, I haven’t seen many of either. I have a black denim bike now. As “not flashy” as I can get haha. How’s it look in the sunlight?
@@cruisinontwo7267 you could say I’m a bit biased but it’s the best color Harley has ever done. When it’s clean there is no better color.
Beautiful bike and beautiful color! Is that the original handlebars?
Yes they are. A lot of people have said the stock handlebars are terrible. I think they’re great. With my current setup I don’t get any muscle pain on longer rides. Greatest bike over owned
What made you switch to a RKS from a SG?
I really like that deadwood green and I don’t use the radio on the SG very often. I like being in the moment when I ride. Wind, sound of the bike, smells, all that garbage I really enjoy. And the bike is much lighter with a lower CG
wow road king 👍😎

can it change your tampon too while you take a curve at 20 mph
I’ll let you know when I have my next cycle.
My dream bike!!
Looks awesome!
Thank you!
G-day from New Zealand . I just did a review on this bike a few days ago . . Cheers Billy
I hope you liked it. Best bike in Harleys line up in my opinion. But I have not tried the Pan America yet.
I was about to buy it but I thought about that tag
I don’t think I follow what you mean?
@@toeshifter Price.
@@andrewkitchenuk this bike today as it sits will cost about 30K
Très belle moto !
Je vous remercie
Damn, I wish the standard exhaust sounded like that. 😢
Never has, never will. Unfortunately
TOP top TOP
Wow! I likey.
Me too
I have a milwaukee 8 and the blowby is so severe. I wish I never sold my twin cam.
So buy another twin cam. That was easy
Sick!
I agree. Thanks!
Congrats. Beautiful bike.
Which exhausts and seats have you got installed.
Planning on getting one myself soon.
Ride safe.
I’m running the Tab Performance slip ons. My seat is Harleys Low Profile Wide Touring with matching pillion. Thanks for watching. Stay tuned.
Zombie baffles or Louvered 2.5? Sounds great 👍🏻
What exhaust is that?

i bought the same bike today jun 3..lol

Nice... like I mentioned, about 3k onto a bike that's 24k already.
Did you not know that before you bought it? What bike do you buy without putting any money into it?
Not my taste the color is pretty boring and the blacked out chrome has been done to death.
“Yawn”
