Totally agree. This is one of the most exciting looking bikes the MOCO has come out with in a long time. It's pure sexy. We all know it's just all bolt on, but damn... great looking.

Also, if those are the factory pipes, wow. Those look great and match the bags perfectly. End caps especially.

Little resemblance??? "Claiming"?? I believe I was the first to go all out SGS/CVO on a 14 RK. I changed to the SGS front fender, rear fender, side covers CVO wheels, CVO dash, CVO wheels, Other than the black out "trend" that is popular now, there are quite a few resemblances to what MOCO put out. I wasn't bad mouthing anyone or anything about this bike, it is cool, I like Kings and am proud to have customized my bike like no others. Don't hate, brother.

You keep posting this, but it's nothing like the Road King Special. IMO

this is was mine last RK..not even close to being as cool as the RKS..would have been completely cost prohibitive for me to attempt to reproduce

I got my windshield brackets back from powder coat and bolted up the Freedom Shields w/s. I am pretty happy with it. Couldn't ride tonight due to weather but I will get on it Sunday!
