Yeah, it looks even better with the tinted shorter windshield with blacked out frame and the RK Classic bags.

That looks cool without the front fender. It's got a Mad Max look to it.

One more thing wesd41 the noise is most likely your lifters, they bleed down when you remove rocker gear. They take a short ride to pump up and the noise will go.

Roadtrain, I owe you a case of your favorite beverage. I just went out and restarted the king and the noise went away, just like you said. You just saved me a 140 mile round trip to the dealer and undoubtedly mucho dinero for the dealer to tell me the same thing.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!
