Story must be movin hu? Been waiting for the jockey shift pics all set up on the bike. TexAg..Looks good can't wait to see it layin in the weeds. Best cheap mod on a train is to lower that puppy. Pc of my chopped v&h pipes and fender chop. Rough I know it'll get there
I have considered lowering before, but I just can't sacrifice the cornering ability... I scrape as it is quite consistently. One neat way to go would be a self contained air suspension system so I cold lower it in the city and raise it up on the road, but that several grand of course...

I just completed the deal on Trip D's bike. He took this photo. It goes to the shipper on Monday and gets trucked from Atlanta to Denver. I backed out of an E-Bay deal on a rebuilt titled 2007 Road King as the seller was shady and I didnt get a good vibe from him.
So I told him to keep his rebuilt salvaged RK and hounded Trip until he sold me his. Think deep inside I wanted a trick train the whole time but was buying an RK trying to be sensible? Eff sensible.
The list of goodies that Trip told me it has are a 95" big bore, SE Intake, 3" foward controls, Lil' bit of lowering kit, some ness mirrors, and a set of V&H Big shots the seat shown and a comfy cruiser seat, the original manuals, a Clymers and it has 13000 miles. Its an 05'.
Think there is some chrome going on on the rear sprocket but will hafta wait til' the shipper gets it to my house to really go over the bike and see whats what.
I cant wait!!

My only concern is how will it handle lowered like that?
I heard of a guys on slamed bikes having some issues in the twisties.
This one dosent seem very slammed yet the seller did tell me to approach speedbumps with caution!
Heres a few more shots.
I wont lie....I paid him top dollar for this bike. In the current economic situation you can straight steal some of these bikes. I wanted this one and paid him every dime an 05' with 13,000 miles could ever be worth...But I got what I wanted and the big bore motor kit si an added bonus.
I did see one of the mods (Schumacher?) paid 10K for a 2003 Softail standard thats pretty nice though.
That made me feel better about what I spent!
An example of the **** poor economy would be this guy up the road from in Denver selling a 2007 Street bob with fat bob bars and a few nice touches for $8770!!http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/964419526.html
I dont fit on a Dyna correctly so it was out of the question. But the guy is legit and any 2007 non-sporty for less than 9K with 3,000 miles is a friggin' bargain.
I'm stoked to be on "The Train" and cant wait to some little **** of my own to my scoot.
Plus Y'all do have the best photo thread in the house....I mean "We" have the best photo thread!!
