Love the King, Looks like its lowered and the fairing really sets it off. Vettes,,,,ah my first love. Looks like a 71? Or is it a 72 with the gas tank emblem on the cover.

Yea, the PO of the RK spent a boat load of money on this bike. Did a real nice job and she really looks good. The Vette is indeed a '72, last year of the front and rear chrome bumpers. It's gonna need a lot of attention though. Thank goodness the bike is pretty much the way I want it. Don't need 2 holes to throw my money into.
