STUNNING!! What a great reclamation project. And there's another one in the garage that's still in process.

Well worth the wait. I keep looking at the before and after pics and notice yet another little detail. I love road kings and seeing these police bikes re born is great.

Wow, thanks for all the props, it makes me even more proud when others like the work I've done. I haven't stopped smiling since I rode it yesterday, it's been off the road since March. Next bike I swear I'm going to learn to paint and powdercoat.

Yessir, I didn't want to erase all it's past life and I like the way they open.

Awesome looking bike and love the black, especially the fork lowers and nacelle. My Road King has been down since last June but will hopefully be out of the shop soon. I had the nacelle, bars and a few other parts painted the same color as the bike, House of Kolour Galaxy Grey.

I purchased an old (2000) police bike from auction here in 2008. I had always wanted to rebuild /repurpose a police bike. Over several years I updated the trans to a Baker DD6 six speed, rebuilt engine from empty cases up with stroker crank and bored it .010 over a 103 to a 104. New intake and added a 44 mm Screaming Eagle carb and cruise control. My son got involved and we stripped down bike and replaced the swing arm to a 2007 style. Repainted it but kept the white but went to a Pearl white like Mercedes have. Replace front forktubes to chrome and added progressive monotubes. Then my son took over and it was his bike and I moved on to my Streetglide. He added nicer custom paint, Fat spoke wheels , etc etc etc (Never ends as you know). I have attached a picture of his work. (GrandDaughter on board ).
Hope you like it. Love the work you have done too. After years of idling alongside the Highways I am sure these old cop bikes love being out in the wind like they were built for.
