I too came from a Fatty to a King - you will NOT be disappointed. There's been several of us this year who converted. Enjoy.

Harley makes special editions at special prices for the non-duty use of certain models for Police, Firemen and Shriners.
It is hoped of course that the Shriners use theirs in parades. The individual (when buying new) has to sign an agreement not to sell the bike for two years. I know this as I am a Shriner.

Already figured on it. I hunch over. I am tall, with a lot of my height in my torso. Did you have to do the cables and such? I'm looking at it all thinking I might get away with swapping without doing that. If I have to do wires & cables with Heritage bars, it will wait. I'll just do 1.5" apes later if that's the case.

Nice bike, love that color!

Vance & Hines Power Duals with Rinehart 4" mufflers sound very good!

Don't worry, these guys in here are very good at spending "your" money! LOL

Will be doing the V&H duals. I like the looks of the V&H Monster ovals, but have yet to hear a set.

Spending my money in virtual land is just fine lol

Great color! Is it the lighting, or just me... I don't see a tank emblem.
