Here's the latest add on: Yellow Passing Light Covers (Lamin-X), not sure what I think about them yet. But it is a cheap enough mod. that I can take them off with out too much pain....

I saw something like your lens on a windshield site. All they had were the lenses laying on a white background. I like the look. I may have to do a little more road king plagiarizing. My king is starting to look like pieces of everyone else's king.

Although I'm not an RK owner, I'm surprised I haven't seen an entry in 129 pages regarding changing over to a hand shift-- have any of you considered switching to a reproduction rocker clutch / tank shift setup, or perhaps even a police style shifter that clamps to the front downtube? Here is what I run:

Anyway, just tossing out some ideas as this would be a direction I would go if & when and RK occupies my garage! Here is a pic of a complete setup for illustration purposes:
