Default Final stage for my Road King CVO








This RK is sooo convertible, it takes 10 seconds from one to two seating, whith or without Tour Pak behind my seat.

The handlebar is handmade to my specs and exists only on my bike. I love beach bars but not the low placed handles. So I asked V Team in Germany to make me a Beach Bar High:-) It handles great and combines the advantages of the Beach Bar and the higher handle position. Serpentines and hard corners are soooo easy and smooth, unbeleavable. Even high speed does not affect in any way the driving. Control in the best sense.

Maybe I will change the passenger seat to the same as the driver seat for better looks. The airpot will be chromed shortly.

What do you think?
Allt the best

Passenger seat is ugly but otherwise it is a thing of great beauty. Great work.

Default Here's Black Betty

Wow 11 years of drool worthy Kings and still going! I'd like to add mine to the list. She's a 2003 RK Classic Anniversary Edition.

New to me May '17, took her cross-country from Florida to California in September. Loved every minute of the 7-day ride!

Here's a couple shots from the trip, so she might be a bit dusty.

Yeah either flat out on the interstate, or carving up the twisties, the RKs just feel unstoppable.

Ran into some serious heat in Dallas in a traffic jam behind an accident, and started roasting my nuts. So I am looking into some cooling options. The only other thing maybe tubeless tires and wheels.

Default New to me '96

My first Road King (first HD). Bought her last week for $3k. She's got a little oil leak and a loud lifter, so parts are one the way and a top end tear down is in the near future. 80k miles, she runs strong, but I'm good with doing a little freshening up.

Nice King. Might want to check out the Evo section of these forums, lots of good info and camaraderie for us blockhead owners. Mike
