Default Stripped down

I love having a Road King.

I had a chance to ride with an old friend today, and put in about 300 miles across the Cascade mountains and back. With a fairing and lowers, the bike is a comfy cruiser, and it's easy to ride 5 or 6 hours without needing a lengthy break.




I got back home this afternoon, washed the bugs off and thought it would be nice to have it stripped down for a bit. It takes about 10 minutes, which includes putting my tools away when I'm done.

Looks like a cover over the bags, really changes the look. Nice. What are they?
I'm partial to fairings, and think your ride is excellent either way.

You have a true convertible.

Ride safe,

Thanks. The saddlebags in the second picture are the leather covered bags that come standard on the RK Classic. I like the way they look with a windshield, but with the fairing, I prefer the color matched hard bags.

With my bike, I can have it both ways.....

Pretty dammed cool dude, I like the lowers as well, they are also quick off? Being able to have a RKC a RK and a Ultra all in one bike is pretty handy, I use mine with and without the fairing or the tour pak but always have the hard bags.

Sweet. I do something similar with my Ultra. I also have a quick detach sissy bar.
