I'm getting questions on the seat rail so I thought I'd answer here. Post number 1225 has a written description of what I did and where i got it. It was very inexpensive (I'm Cheap), and is easily removed, I ride 2 up more then half the time. Here are some pics. They're older with My Mustang seat instead of the Solo and without the fender rack, but you get the idea.

mxgod, I don't see one thing I don't like about your King. Just beautiful and tasteful. You obviously have some good photographic skills, too. BTW, What bars are those?

New to the forum. You guys have some bad *** rides, so I figured I'd share mine.

I know, I know, it's purple... but she's a sexy thang. No engine work, just a lot of attention to the way she looks... low, long, loud and shiny.

hope you like it. Look forward to see the "purple" comments

Looks great. Park her in front of some Purple Heart and you've got yourself a backdrop!
