I'm really getting into the older bikes and love the vintage look. But I have to confess that I also appreciate the modern conveniences such as cruise control and ABS. So since my 2014 Road King is almost 6 years old, I decided to give it a bit of a vintage look. I didn't want to do anything radical or anything that couldn't be easily changed back, so my effort is somewhat limited. But it has a whole new look that I like without breaking the bank.

And "after":
Here's a list of the changes:
Mustang Wide Tripper solo seat in brown
Round air cleaner and horn covers
Colored turn signal lenses (they were clear)
Chrome tail light collar
Bicycle grips
Removed front reflector
Replaced rear reflector with chrome insert
