Looks like a RK with apes and a different rear fender.

Doesn't a RK have outboard shocks? I would of thought it was a fatboy.

I might be showin' my age, but I believe it's an FLH. It's got custom rocker boxes on a Shovel Head top end and a four speed transmission. I don't believe they ever put shovelheads in Road Kings, also the external oil line to the rocker box is a dead giveaway.

Definitely not a Fatboy...unless they changed the rear swingarm and replaced it with exposed shocks, moved the oil container and replaced it with a battery and cover. I'm gonna go with Tom on this one...FLH

Customized FLH. Late model with what appears to be a shovelhead with different rocker boxes. Hard to tell, I blew the pic up as much as I could....In any case it's a sweet looking bike....Wish I had it.

Hard to tell this bike has had a few dollars in it so the build could be custom even the frame. But it looks FLH.
