The new King is coming together nicely.

I always hope someone will offer me enough money for my Road King that I won't be able to refuse to sale. Otherwise I don't think I'll ever be able to put it up to sale or trade it in.

Thanks BA and Danmo.

The dyno showed 80.4 hp and torque was 93. Both numbers are a little better than we expected, but this is the first time we've used the 4" Rineharts.

She didn't turn out too shabby if I say so myself.

Great quote! Reminds me of another one:

"When I go, I wanna die like my grandfather did; quietly, in his sleep.... not screaming in terror like the other people in his car."
