jskwarek!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations on a fine win with that beautiful bike of yours. Please forward whatever picture and/or information you'd like to have posted up on the forum to Terry1955.

December 07 BOTM - jskwarek's 2004 Road King Classic

All work completed by myself and my twin brother here in Plano, TX. I purchased this 04 Road King Classic used in Feb of 06 and started this major overhaul in June of 07. This is my first Harley, but not my first bike. I have owned several metric cruisers and a few crotch rockets, but none of them were Harleys.

Now that this project is about done I am in the process of trying to find a Road Glide to start over and do it again.

I have tried to keep a running history of the build progress on photobucket here http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x252/jskwarek/
with the latest photos being here http://s181.photobucket.com/albums/x252/jskwarek/2007-10-13_Photo_Shoot/.

Thanks guys... This bike was one fun build and being my first Harley I learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. It brought my brother and I closer then we have ever been, and I have made a bunch of great friends. With out getting to sappy the last year has been one of the best in my life.

The design process has started on the Road Glide and I am hoping to start the build in the next month or two so who knows maybe I will see you all hear again this time next year.

Thanks again to all that cheered me on, and also to the ones that told me that I couldn't do it...

Jeff
