The name is rather ambiguous now, traditionally it was the FL* series introduced in '65 with electric starters. Prior to that they were Duo-Glides and further back Hydra-Glides (Glides because of the shocks in front first and then rear). There were at least models still referred to as EGs at least through the '70s though then they started with the other variants. Not sure they use it now for any one particular configuration, someone else may.

According to HOG magazine the Road Kings of today drew their inspiration directly from the 65.

I know that I'm lovin' mine that I just got last Saturday! And at 35K with all the extras, tax, licence, dealer prep, and an extended warranty, I wouldn't consider it trading down either, lol. :wink

The pic below is without any of the extras, I'll post that when they are all done.

RK is a great bike! Had one before the Limited. But I would never give up all the extras I now have. Heavy? Just a tad heavier hardly notice.:think

Somewhere between a Road King and Electro Glide Ultra is my choice.

The tour pack I would miss. The back seat my wife would miss.
Stereo, security system, abs brakes, cruise control, can do without.

Not sure if the windshield without fairing would work. Been many years now
with full fairing.

The only way out of this is to have one of each.
