Default Finally back to an RK

I posted up a few pics in the Road King thread, but here is a few more just because, here is my new to me 2013 RKC. Still researching the service bulletins and recalls for this year, if there is any, and what has been fixed already.

Mods are coming, slow but sure. First order of business though, is new slip-ons (baffles are burned out), locks for the leather bags and getting some paint on the lower fairings, other than the rattle can job they have now.


Pay no attention to my lack of yard work, the snow will kill it all soon.







Stable mates the night before the Dragon.



At the top, on our last run for the day. Couldn't have asked for better weather or a more fitting way to come back to a Road King.

Good for you. I'm jealous because I want to get one to keep wide glide company.

I hear ya man, I wanted to keep the Train so that I could have permanent stable mates, but my wallet says no.

Nice bike!

Hope that jgos929 doesn't see this post, he'll have some stern words for your lack of housecleaning.

Congratulations! I don't know what you have in mind for bag locks, but these don't change the look and have worked well for me for 5+ years: http://www.saddlebaglidlocks.com/ They are an easy install:
