Default 05 Road King Custom

Just picked up a 2005 Road King Custom in Sunglo Blue with only 1300 miles on it and TONS of chrome!! Sure is a nice bike, and got it for a pretty decient price in my opinion. No passing lights or security system though, but, that can be fixed. It has alum wheels, just a super nice bike, maybe i can get some pictures posted with some help. Now the Heritage has a friend in the shop. I'm a very happy camper.

I also have a '05 rk custom. I added the passing lamps. At first I went with the lamps and bar, leaving the turn signals on the bar. When I decided to add the ape hangers, I wanted to mount the signals on the passing lamp. I don;t care for the signals up on the bars, on apes. I had a bit of trouble finding what I needed. Search the web in depth for something for a rk custom. Just to move the signals. As luck would have it, one night I was thumbing through the hd catalog and came across something for a softail, that was just what I needed. Asked the sales dept at the dealer, and they assured me thatit would not work, as it was listed for a softail only. I bought it anyways, and it works and looks awsome.

Congradulations on the bike, I love mine. If you need anything concerning the bike, drop me a PM.
