Default road glide to a road king

how hard would this be to do? other than removing the roadie fairing, what part would you need to go to a road king? headlight, w/s. what all else???

You'll probably have to buy the RK interconnect harness. The big question is gonna be what are you going to do about the speedo? Keep your RG one? its much smaller than the RK unit. Maybe do a dual gauge mount like the dynas and sportys use on on the bars.

I'd trade at the dealer if I wanted to go from RG to RK, there are to many differences IMO, you would have to buy the head light, the speedometer is on the tank, in fact it's a completely different tank, etc. And turn signals, too much to list, good luck.

I think you're going to be busy with side cutters, removing all the excess wiring

The hard part would be convincing yourself (afterwards) that you did the right thing...
Just sayin'

I too would like a Road King but it will just have to be my 4th bike as no way am I changing or getting rid of my Road Glide.

Are you sure you want to take that big a step up at one time?
