Razorback: Ya've done good on that sweet Road King!!! Is that a ProPad horn? -Like the look of it.
So what are you going to do after you sell the bike? I bet whatever you pick up, it'll be looking pretty sweet in a short time.

yep, Adjure lights. Shop around ebay for them. They make black dot as well if the local constabulary were to take issue with the blue. The headlight has a dome so the blue doesn't light up, unlike the spots.
Check out these babies Caddy style lights and Caddy style w/blue dots
Not sure about the horn cover. I thought it flowed with the paint lines. Found it with no mounting hardware so I fabricated a bracket out of stainless and chrome bolts. Used the stock horn and mount.
When I sell it I'm gonna buy my youngest daughter a degree in nursing. Priorities I guess. Other bikes will come. This one was pretty much finished anyway. Things go well, maybe a new Fat Bob next summer. Pewter denim and black, I have a buddy that powdercoats. I'd love to see a cutting edge liquid cooled unit with a pocket full of zorst from the Motor Company soon. Something to take the torch from the current XR1200 Sportster and run with it.
I still have this to keep me busy...

I'm not sure which bike you are referring to with your question. Both bars you've mentioned would look good on the RK. I had BB's on it at one point (narrow BB's @36" wide) but now have the Wild 1 518's...and I believe that Wild 1 does call them the RK2's.
The two pictures below will give a good comparison of my bike with the 36" wide Beach Bars and the Wild 1 518's. The first picture is of my RKC in 2004 when I bought it with the BB's and the second is what it looks like in 2009 with the Wild 1's.
