Whiskers you have a sweet ride. That pic made up my mind and makes me want to put my stock leather bags back on!!
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.
In the early 00's HD produced limited numbers of RKC's in red/white (yellow/white and blue/white). I bought a 2002 in Luxury blue/white (tank) and later painted the fenders and side panels to match up with the tank. 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!
Your bike looks great, I've always liked that paint schem. The tank emblem and fringe add to the overall good looks. If I had to do a repaint I'd probably go this way myself because I like it so much. Thanks for sharing.
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 !!

Reason: add pics
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.
