While I chose the Road King Standard for the chrome, I saw this Special at a local dealership in Houston today. I thought it looked pretty awesome in person. Don't think the pic does it justice. I think it was 1 of 250.

That’s nice! Since they won’t make a CVO Road King, I may have to go this route.

It's just a set of tins for the RK Special. Salesman told me they had swapped em out. Said he has a catalog with other color schemes. I thought it was interesting.

With all the cold and some rain here the only riding I'm getting is on the pictures.
This one I also use as background on my phone.:





Share any nice RKS pictures!
I want more inspirations for future mods and pictures (obviously).

Has anyone found a way to mount passing lamps with a windshield? The dealership is telling me it won't work but not why.

I don't think that's the case. But I will let someone else chime in.

If I order a shield from Freedom shields, what is needed for mounting. I have the mounting lugs on the bike, but I have not had a shield on it yet. Would I really need to buy the windsplitter, just for the mounting brackets??
