That guy is ending up with a great looking bike. I had a guy offer me a bunch for mine once but parting with it was something I just couldn't do.

Thanks. The new one's getting a chrome front end, calipers, hand controls, Kuryakin Zombie boards, pegs, pedals, grips and levers, polished rotors, braided cables, PM 21" wheel, RWD front fender, lowered front and rear, custom seat, the CVO Street Glide rear fender and LED vertical tail lights, saddlebag extensions, Wild 1 16" apes, Super Tuner, the new Rinehart 4" True Duals and a whole bunch more of stuff. Parts started coming yesterday. Should have pics up within a week or so- fenders are at the painter's.

Default new one

Here are a couple of pics of the new King as I bought it a few days ago. Most of my bolt-on stuff that doesn't require paint is now on the bike, but I won't have pics until tomorrow or so.

Nothin' fancy here- just a plain old FLHR.

But just wait...

Default here we go

OK, so now front end and rear end have both been lowered. Passing lamps and front turn signals have been eighty-sixed. While the front end was being done, I had the chrome front end kit put on. Also added are the chrome calipers, and hardware. The polished rotors won't be in until Tuesday, so the stock ones are pictured along with the stock wheel and tire. Up top, the Wild 1 bars, chrome hand controls, and Kuryakyn "Zombie" grips and levers. The mirror is the Kuryakyn "Scythe".
The new wheel and tire is PM's "Wrath" (21x3.5) and a Metzeler 880 in 21/65/120. They will go on when the rotors are ready.
The bags have extensions, exhaust cut-outs and skid plates, and the latches are billet.
The RWD front fender along with the CVO FLHXSE2 Street Glide rear fender went to the painter's and aren't expected back until next week, so the stock rear fender is pictured.
The footboards, rear pegs, shift pegs, and brake pedal are Zombie, while the brake arm and heel/toe arms are HD billet.
The only parts not in are the rotors and the seat, and they should be here soon. Hopefully the painter won't take too long.

Man, was wondering how you were gonna top your last ride, but that has been laid to rest with the latest pics and updates.

Luv those rims...serious throwback to the Invader rims from days long past.

Thanks man. I'll miss the '04, but it was hard for me to sell my '01 and the '98 before it. This should be the nicest, but it's got a little ways to go. Once the fenders, seat, exhaust and front wheel are done it should be pretty decent.
Yeah, the wheels are a little retro, but a lot of the new ones are a little too "busy" for me.
We'll also dyno-tune the new SE Super Tuner as soon as possible.
I'm kind of at a standstill now until the painter gets done with those fenders, but stay tuned, boys and girls, because I'll get pics up as soon as it's together more. It may be a week yet, though.
