I want to rake my Road King
Hey guys... I have an 07 Road King Police. I'm 6'2 and love my bike. however, I feel like it is too short for me. I already have a ton of money invested in the bike. other than feeling it is too short, it is the best I could ask for. My buddy who works for Harley said try putting on a 21" wheel and that would help me accomplish the look im going for. anyone ever rake the front end of a road king?

You can try stretching the bags out. I've attached a couple pic might be a cheap approach. I think raking out a RK might F-ck with the handling a little to much.

Just tryin to help , I read your 1st post too fast and thought you said it felt too short, I misread . Custom trees would be one way to achieve the raked look that would be minimally invasive. When do you see yourself on your bike, do you ride next to mirrors a lot, looking at your reflection in storefronts?
I am 6' 3" and weigh in at 255 I ride an 06 and a 07 road king.The wife said that when I ride the 06 I look like a monkey fu#@ing a football.The 07 on the other hand rides and feels like a completely different model.Same seats,bars,etc..so go figure..Not sure about raking a RK. But maybe floorboard extensions or something like that.Forgot to mention I wear a size 14 boot so I always ride with my heels resting on top of the highway pegs..Good Luck
