Default Road King Makeover
Hello all. I am in the mode to redo my bike again. I am making it into a custom Street Glide. I have nearly all the parts to complete the project, except for a really nice paint sceme. So I am going flat black until inspiration hits. Has anybody here done a makeover like this? I would like to hear from you. My bike pic should in my sig. Look forward to your comments.

I put on the front wheel tonight after work. What do you think? I also got started on modding my extended bags. Motivation is pretty high. I just made plans to head to Sturgis this year.

I was going to say leave it alone but since you are highly motivated and it appears you have the know how and know what direction you are going with the bike, go for it! Lookin good!
