Thank you for the reply. This thread is the most dangerous to my bank account on the internet. Your king, El Ray's and a couple of others keep me awake at night thinking about them. I have to wonder how many sales have been instigated by y'alls posts. I can say for sure that yours has made me spend a few pesos at the dealer. I know I need professional help, but I think I can handle it. As long as there are new pictures to look at, I can sometimes keep from going to the dealer every week. I am going to go back to the dealer Friday though and look at them tails again. Have a great weekend. who?

I know this thread has cost me some money. My freshly painted tins are going on this weekend...pics to follow. I'm having the fuel tank installed next week.(a guy has to know his limitations).

One place to check for those fins would be paughco.com. I bought my pipes from them and was going to get the rocket fins until I settled on the Flash Gordon muffler.

Whome?

Check one of the back P&A catalogs, there were two different end caps for the Fishtails, both slight different than the other. If you have one from at least 2008, you'll see it.

If not, I can post the part numbers...

Those bags are sweet, and not really that much more than the HD factory bags. Or for that matter, what people are trying to get out of hard bag bottoms.

Default 2002 Road King

Just finished up some facelift items on my 02, and thought I'd share:
1) Installed Rick Doss mid frame covers. I could only find these in chrome- I wanted black. I sandblasted the chrome, used metal etch primer and painted the gloss black to match the frame.
2) Kuryakan neck covers- black of course!
3) Black saddlebag fillers. I used the regular un-notched fillers and cut out the one side to fit with the RKC bags. Painted them black.
4) Danny gray Speedcradle solo. I love this seat.
5) Yaffe air cleaner cover off Ebay- I like the look and got a great deal on it.
6) Bullet rear turn signals from Motor City Cycles. Still getting used to the look but I think I'm liking them! Gonna put some chrome visors over them.
These are the latest changes for this year. The bike is basically stock with SE stage 1, lowered height rear shocks, Chubby 508 bars, and the usual chrome covers from HD

Default A few more pics...

Here's a couple more pics while I'm at it (and the bike is still clean!) I'd like to say "Pay no attention to the messy garage". but it always looks like that!
