Title: Hello from Texas
Post by: Sun_King on March 29, 2017, 07:51:59 PM: I just wanted to introduce myself. I've been riding Harley's for my entire riding life and I finally decided to move on to something different. I recently bought a left over 2016 Black C14 and so far I am really enjoying it.

I have been using the forum to research the C14 and now that I own one I'm finally joining and I look forward to being a part of this community.

I've attached a picture of my Road King I traded for the C14. :)

No chrome! ;D

You rode off on the better bike, no doubt. 8) Have you twisted the grip and hung on above 8,000 RPM? Yeah boy!

Post by: Sun_King on March 31, 2017, 06:41:54 PM: I live in San Antonio but I was born and raised in Ohio.

It's definitely different going from Harley's to a C14, but so far I really like it. I still have a Harley V Rod Muscle in the garage which is also a really fun bike to ride. I have been slowly opening up the C14 little by little since we're still getting to know each other.

BTW, I named the bike "Haring Araw" which is Tagalog (Filipino. My wife is full blooded Filipina) for Sun King, which is also slang for a happy new beginning.

So far I've added AST pullback risers, AST rack and backrest, and a Givi V56 to the bike. Future plans include a slip on muffler, possibly a Kawi touring seat, and if it ever bothers me enough some sort of cruise control (which is the only thing the Road King had that the Concours doesn't).
