Really enjoy the ideas and interpretations of fellow "Classic" thinkers. I've been away from this great thread too long - re-posting pics that disappeared with forum updates (more are in my album).

Good Friends,
I've had a couple people ask me who I bought the Blue & White leather braided levers on my bike from. The company is called Iron Braids. I visited their web site last night and noted that they now carry Turquoise & Creme and a LOT of other color choices.
Ride safe.

Thanks, do you use the grounds if so fresh or used. Or just brewed coffee.

Have you tried rubbing them with some yellow snow? ...................................Sorry, couldn't resist.
To get ideas for my bike, I oogle over pictures in old Harley books. Look at the items that were stock or Harley accessories from back in the day.
A Road King with hard bags takes it's influence from '60-'64 FLH Duo Glides and '65 and up Electra Glides. Quite a few of the items on those bikes are still available today.
I never really thought of the Road King Classic's leather bags as that nostalgic, but they take a nice nod to late '50's FLs.
There's plenty you can do, just look at lots of pictures and get ideas.

Sorry I haven't had time to add my pictures to my profile, work work work... I traded my 07 Deluxe for my 08 Ultra ( I needed the trunk space) as I ride it every day. Anyhow, I miss the classic look. How do you guys feel about wide white walls on this style of bike. Any other ideas on how to bring back the classic feel that I miss so much. Thanks, Jason
