If anyone knows anybody looking for a Road King, let me know.

I'm either going to revamp the bike or get something different. For sale.

Here's one that I haven't seen posted here before:

I totally stole this from a guy on a 2003 Heritage, so I can't take credit for it. I was hanging out with a bunch of 30's - 50's Harleys and Indians the last few days. It seems that "back in the day", the windshields were laminated. Therefore, there was a chrome or translucent band around the windshield. So..... for about $10-12 at Autozone, one can pick up a roll of that stuff they use to put a chrome strip on car doors. One roll is WAY more than enough to do a RK windshield.

Pic attached, taken in bad light, at a bad angle, with a cell phone, but you get the idea. Looks much better in person.

Copper 52,
What bars are you running on your bike. They look like they have good height and pullback, just what I want for my new Road King.
Thanks

They are 1 1/4 Flat Track bars, comfortable to ride with.

Default New "classic" look

I changed my leather bags to hard bags. They came off a 2008 Ultra and I just had them painted.
