Do the fenders & tank like Whiskers and I'll bet it would be great!

Thanks. I don't know whether you've visited it yet but at the top of the Touring Section is a 'sticky' thread about Classic Road Kings. The thread is dedicated to RK Classic riders and you'll see many different bikes and pick up some great ideas.

Ride safe.

If you can use your imagination to reverse colors from blue to red, you should get a pretty good approximation of what your bike will look like. IMO, you ought to go ahead and do it...I think it'll look sharp (my bias aside).

Whiskers,
You have one sweet looking ride. I absolutely love when you post up pictures of your scoot. I've got a similar 02, but in all black. Yours makes me want to change out the tins. The paint, tank medallion and fish tails are killer. Nice job brother!

Big wolf whistle for Wiskers' bike.

Look at my gallery. I'll try to upload also but I had an 03 done in the red and white with old style metal tank emblem. Looked great. Did the combo first with yellow and white and it too is a looker !!

I like the idea and I like how the combination of color and white looks on Wiskers' bike. I too think a little darker red (not maroon) would look good.

I know this is a Victory, but the red and white color and style is nice.
