You're probably right about an operator error. lol
Sounds like a plan. That could be it with the *****. Let us know.

Hey Lindsey this is the All Things Roadking Special thread but consider yourself an honorary member since you ride a Roadking. Don't tell anyone else about this though. 😁

Consider the Road Sofa. It's amazing!!

Yeah not sure cause all Street Glides I've seen in Canada have the other assembly with the brake light on the bottom of the fender

It feels pretty close to the same width. It doesn't hug you along the sides as much though.

If you mean the tribar light in the bottom of all the late model touring fenders that's a change from US bikes. Our tribar light is just a running or tail light it doesn't function as a brake light. Our turn signals are our combination brake lights. Custom Dynamics makes a tribar brake ight for that space though. Interesting the subtle differences between countries.

Ah gotcha. That makes sense.

Also as for an update on my handlebar swap: I done goofed. When torquing down the banjo bolt on the ABS module for the new brake line, I took the threads right out of the block.... I think I sat on my garage floor for 15 minutes contemplating putting the bike up for sale.

Here's a pic.


So I got the new lines from LA Choppers. I already sent them an email this morning but it seems like the connector is way thicker than stock and I don't think the banjo bolt was getting enough threads to torque down to spec.

I'm gonna see if I can get a heli coil down there. Don't know what else to do. Pretty sure a new ABS module is north of $900 in Canada

Use a Time Sert instead of helicoil

Ordered a set of medallions for my RKS today.
Apparently some are VIN restricted, but my dealer is looking for a way around that. (Not the CVO bar & shield tank badges though).

I actually have to! They're the only company I saw that makes an insert for 7/16-24.

Hopefully can get this done in time for my trip out West on the 24th
