Road king build - 21 and lots o powder, road pig
ok... well a custom/friend of the shop brought in his road king for some work... figured i would share
before:
after we modded it out last year
and the new build:
wrapped the DNA fat spoke 21 in 140 metzler rubber
first round of powder
mock u
shaved the lower leg so we can use a single sided 6 piston
and powder begins
more black powder
starting to assemble the front end
did preload the stock suspension a bit to fit the massive tire under there and ran a 20w fork oil this will keep the fender from hitting
removed the duel disk so i had a dyna brake line in the shop used that to save him some coin... took some routing but i got it to work

so i started on the wheel
rotor bolts looked horrible... could not have that
after a spin on the buffing wheel
in place
the spacers where WAY WAY off..
6 piston looks sick!
pulled the rear wheel
put new rubber on the rear
the dyna ran dot 4 the pig ran dot 5 so i had to pull the master and flush it then clean with denature alch all the seals so that the new fluids would not create issues
spun the spacers on the layth and got them cut down (3/4 and 7/8 if anyone wants to know for a dna wheel)
perfect
got the new rubber on and put in the rear wheel, alligned the belt and got that all squared away... removed the stock shocks with lowring blocks (they blow out after a few hundo miles) and replaced them with 12 in air shocks to to get the 1 inch drop in back
used hog pro lifter blocks for the fender to work
and that is where we stand as of now
