At 6'1", I feel just about right on my Road King. I did change handlebars and tried a couple of seats on my 2000 model to get it to "fit", but the only thing I've changed on the 2013 is the seat. I went with the HD "hammock" seat, but that's purely personal preference.

Ditto for my 2000 Road King, save for that rear cam bearing issue. It never needed anything else beyond tires, brake pads, and fluids. 116,000 miles...
What a contrast - I "grew up" on Ironhead Sportsters (still have the third one I bought, in 1980, a 1976 model) and Shovelheads. Top end jobs at somewhere between 20,000-30,000 miles, full rebuilds somewhere around 60,000-70,000, and no shortage of problems in between. Most of it vibration related, with rigid mounted, non-counterbalanced engines, they were their own worst enemies. It seems no matter how good modern Harleys are today, they still can't shake the reputation they built for themselves in those days.
