I think the time has come to start planning out the conversion to a Road Glide! I love the King but want a Road Glide so why not take what I already have so much invested into and making it what I want!

That bike is sick. I think the best looking baggers are road kings. The fairing pull away from how awsome a bagger looks.

I have to say that is a beautiful King you have there.
Good luck with your project. You may want to get in touch with steelerdude as he converted a E-Glide to a RG. Maybe he can offer some insight.

I like your idea, I think it would look awesome with a road glide fairing.

I have to much money invested in this bike to sell or trade for a new or new to me bike. So why not make it what I want and keep it looking bad *** with they paint and hydro dip. Plus I would get a stereo and have a truly unique ride!
