Default Road King Classic modification images

Hello,

i´m from germany. Because that sorry for my english :-)

I have a 2018 Road King Classic in black.

I thinking about some small modifications. First i´m looking for a nice solo seat. I have seen that seat:

https://www.harley-davidson.com/stor...o-touring-seat

But i have not seen this seat on a raod king classic.

And i´m thinking to switch to blacked out engine and case guards. For this i have made some photoshop from my bike and 2 from HD Website. I attached this images.

What i´m asking for: does someone have that harley low profile seat on a rkc and/or have black crash bars on his rkc?

I will thank you very much for pictures.

Kai

I don't think I can help you very much but here is a picture of mine. I removed a few things and relocated some others and built the engine up.

Thanks much. I like the clean front. I like to clean up my hole bike too. A little more black but not so reduced like a special.

You guys overseas are so lucky that you can still get spoke wheels with your Road Kings! I love that look! which is why I'll never get rid of my 03 RKC. Here's a shot of that bike and one of the 17 RK I had for awhile before I traded it in due to Tranny Fluid Transfer......

What do you gentleman like more on my images? The chrome crash guards or the black ones? For me i´m not sure.

I still like the blacked out bikes. But the rk special is to black for my taste. I take the classic because i like the spoked wheels an chromed engine. Most other dont need to much chrome i think.

Your RK looks very nice. With more chrome i like it too. It is a difficult decision to go with more chrome or blacked out some parts.

I have a M8 too. For now i have no fluid transfer. Hope it will not come to my bike. But i have some pinging when accelerating. Hope it is valve train noise not real spark pinging. Can hear it more louder when driving with wind screen.
