If you decide you want to add the fairing guages (speedo, etc), you can get the interconnect wiring harness from Harley and everything will be plug and play.

1. Teachu2: Do you have any pics of yours or any advice. What did you do about the wiring. Did you leave your RK guage assembly intact.

2. leohd: I was going to sell the bike and and buy one but after only a high bid on my bike of $14g on ebay, I decided to go this route. The way the economy is, it is a bad time to sell high dollar toys. I aint sell my ride for 14g when I have more than double that in it.

3. gunnert: I have the inner connect wiring for the fairing. However, it dont just plug in to my existing wiring harness on the RK. Atleast I havent figured it out yet.

Sorry - guess I lost ya there. I gave the local dealer $4k and my '06 Road King with 10k on it, rode away with a brand-new '07 Road Glide. I kept the chrome I wanted off the King, and the dealer moved the garage door opener over.....

As my 13 year old would say, "my bad". I was WRONG. The Road King wiring harness is totally different from the FLHT, etc. one.

I have all the gauges. I thought I heard that there was a wire harness that adapts from an electraglide. Any nfo will be appreciated.
Once I get everything here I will be able to determine what I actually need and dont need. You conversion would probably be alot easier though since you already having a fairing bike. You already have alot of whats needed, just need the other inner/outer fairing and braket.

Hey Travis - Glad you decided to make the conversion and hang on to that bike. It's way too nice to let go. Can't wait to see the finished product.
