Nice looking bike. Seems more RK's have apes than not.
How pricy and difficult was the carb conversion? probably the next mod on the list for my '01 after a change to the '02 swingarm.

Just traded my funky lookin' 1996 FLHR in on a 2003 FLHRCI. Got some work to do in order to make it a "classic Classic" like some of these bikes, but it's a start. Not going to do too much as I don't want to detract from the 100th Anniversary model aspect, but there are a few ideas I've picked up here that should work.

Hi, I really like very much the red roadking classic of " ajp170 " shown also by " whiskers " and the solo air ride seat with the classic hand rail. It is presented at page 110 of the " turn a classic into a classic " thread.
Where did you get this very nice hand rail?
I just found an air ride seat and i would like to install a hand rail like yours.
By the way, do you have pictures showing how you installed it under the seat?
Looking forward your answer.

I scanned back to posts #1021 through #1028 (page 103 in my browser) and it looks like ajp170 went with a seat rail and bracket from the Vintage section of jpcycles.com:

It has been some time since ajp170 has posted, perhaps another forum member could chime in about the modifications needed to make the rail fit the newer police ride seat.
