Very nicely done. Don't know how much you've had a chance to ride it, but are you concerned about scraping when you do a little canyon carving? You might consider some skid plates to avoid the inevitable. Just a thought.

Very nice, very integrated into a single whole as others have said. This is the best speaker set up I've seen for a RK.

Well I am hoping the Angled bags prevent it from dragging. I just leaned the bike over with all the air out of the bags and the floor board hits first

which is a good sign

Excellent looking bike!! Good to finally see something other than the run of the mill batwings. Road Kings have always been the best looking Harley to me. I am even considering trading the roadie for a RK Classic and having some speakers and such added to it. Just waiting on some decent colors to come out like that electric blue they had a few years back. Once again, beautiful bike.

Thank you an I agree about the best looking bike. I have like 7 different Harleys with this custom... Stripped single seat or two up, fairing single seat or two up, windshield single seat or two up... its like having a bunch of harleys to fit your mood.

Your bike looks topshelf. But I don't care for the speakers. That was a good idea though.
