Default Red and White Two Tone RK
I am tossing this paint scheme around in my mind, same colors as a 50s vette. I have done google searches for some inspiration but have not seen any. I see FF edition Road Kings but none with WWWs or Two Tone. Does anyone here have any pics or own one with this color scheme.

Birch white and a crimson red would be awesome paint scheme.

Good luck. Please post some pictures when you get it done.

I have a friend with a red and white 65 FLH pan and it looks really good!! I think an RK in red and white would look just as good.

1994 Road King made into 1965 Electra Glide Pan

This is one of the best custom jobs I have ever seen. Talk about retro looks and that's an EVO motor.

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).

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.
