Nothing us ole timers in the late 60s and early 70s that i wouldnt love about it. Sure beats the hell out of a Black Glide( which is fine but way too many).. He wont loose it in the parking lot LMAOF. If i had 2 or three kicking around it would be fun .....Opinions are like well you know....Dare to be different. LOL

Went bar hopping Saturday night and ended up at HandleBars in Florissant MO... usually dont drive this far but I heard the crowd and stripper pole was second to NONE!!!! ((BTW whoever told me that lied))
Saw this Road King in parking lot and buddy has a project Road King he wants to do something like this to... anyone know/GUESS any specifics? We kept walking out front to catch the guy before he left but were unable to make contact with him.....

Based on the bags, the sideplate ( battery location ) and the gusset for the front Crashbar on the downtubes, it looks to be a late 80's to early 90's 5 speed FL frame (electra glide) that they raked and streched. Looks like they went about 8 to 10" over on the fork tubes and replaced the triple clamps with a FL setup and put the olderstyle tins on them and then went with a RK tank setup.
It's cool - if he likes it and wanted to mod his old Evo glide into more of a chop with bags setup - good on him.

Man you guys have a hard time with "different"! I guess everyone should have a black chromed out SG? Or box stock UG?? Not what I'd build but I'd guess it was done years ago? Old EG with stretched frame, FL trees, extended tubes. Old school...

we talked about that.... hes got a pretty badass night train that is his daily, and he is just going to chop up the wrecked king. I think it needs a new frame, and a bunch of parts so he intends on Frankensteining it together.... somehow!

somebody had an idea and went too far with it . if it had been set up with 4 to 6 inch over front tubes instead of the 8 to 10 inches it's got it would look half decent . but only half
