Looks Good,

Watch the cover on the X pipe scrapping on right turns.

Those black mufflers are a nice visual trick with the Classic saddlebags

there's a few AB riders here on the Forum, which Town?

That's a hot lookin' Road King. The RKC is a great bike to "make your own". Love the paint set. Have fun with it.
