Default My Not-So Standard EGS
I just put some new stuff on my bike and wanted to show it off to people who can appreciate it. Lowering kit, Fat Spokes, custom white walls, Chubby 12.5 Bagger apes, chrome fork legs and bells, grips, and other things.

Don't know if I should put a chrome engine kit on next or custom solo seat. Thoughts?

I purchased my Road King 2009, while I was shopping I was also considering EGS. In the end I went for the Road King for the chrome and black motor. Maybe one day HD will see the error of it's ways and bring the EGS BACK.

My RK Serves me well, but it does look more like a EG than it does an RK.

Looks like the solo seat is taking the lead.

Basselope - I was trying to keep it classy and retro.

Texas Rapier - hindsight being 20/20, I probably would have went with the Road King also. good choice.

Really like that front wheel with chrome legs! Yeah solo seat. I'm going black and alum on mine. Hard to fight the chrome urge!
