All the features you're talking about on the glides is a negative for me... and I have a 2017 Ultra Classic that I've owned as a new hold-over on the showroom in 2018. In 2000 I owned a RK Classic and it is still the Harley I loved most. Before that I had a 94 Heritage Softail Classic, which I loved but it had zero get up & go. I'd love another Road King, but I'd add the QD windshield and QD top case and the reason would be to have a touring Harley w/o the infotainment system and all the other electronics that can fail or give headaches. P.S. I had a first run Pan America Special and it left me stranded way too many times. That's another bike they need to remove all the electronics from, the MOCO would have an absolute beast of a bike. The Pan Am showed me how detrimental those electronics are, even though some might think of them as "extras" So, that's probably one reason why the Road Kings sell so well. It's a purist' bike.

Good perspective, thanks.
Harley Road King (Standard, with windshield) has everything I want and leaves out everything I don't want.
Harleys Road King IMHO, is the best bike Harley has to offer.
The only cruiser that surpasses it is the Indian Springfield.
That's cool, but why? What makes the Road King the best Harley bike?
