Rides great, just gets lots more attention, lol. I fitted a Progressive lowering kit, dropped it another inch, only got 2" of travel but used thicker oil. I did speak to a custom shop afterwards and they told me they don't lower the front with a 23" with trees.

Rear fender is a bit of a one off, Brought a cheap fender extension off eBay, reshaped the bottom and molded it to the original fender, I wanted to keep a steel rear fender with a bit of shape to it, not a big fan of overlays as IMO they look too flat.

Thanks for the comments guys

Great thread, a lot of inspiration here! Traded in my '07 Street Bob for a 2014 Road King yesterday. Couldn't be happier! Have a long way to go to make it truly mine, but here she is...
