Default Ok, I am in love
I used to own a Night Train but just purchased a 2005 Road King Custom (its new to me). Just picked it up today. It has 17k miles on it and the previous owner had a sweet set of pipes put on and had the 103 big bore kit installed. The dealer told me it "will want to run" and man did it. That thing flys! Not only does she fly and sound pretty sweet, she was damn comfortable. Looks like I may double that 17k mileage this summer!

Just need a new air cleaner cover as i am not a fan of that one...any suggestions?

Side note, bought a FXRG Textile jacket and even though it was only 40 degrees when i picked it up, i felt absolutely nothing through that thing. What a great sunday

Sweet ride. You can always get a round EVO cover like this (can get whatever insert you want, doesn't have to be police) or you can get the black round crossbones cover. That is what I replaced the one in the pic with.
