I bought an 04 Road King last year. I enjoyed the time I have spent on her but have realized that she is a little much for me. For lack of a better way of saying it, I am stuck with her. I have decided to make her what I need her to be.
She is an 04 Road King classic and I have begun the process of stripping the batwing, bags and associated rails that go with them to lighten and lower the bike. I am going to get shorter shocks to lower it so I am flat footed and hopefully knees bent. I am thinking about a 2 into 1 exhaust instead of the y pipe dual. Any ideas on whether this is feasible?
I have read on other forums that i shouldn't have bought a bagger if i didn't want a bagger. Agreed but can't trade her in or sell her so i have to make her work for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hey Bob, welcome to the forums from Texas. I bought a 1979 FLH in 1981 and I stripped everything off of it, eliminated the left muffler and welded up the pipe that it connected to. Today I have a 2 into 1 D&D exhaust on my 2017 RGU. Good luck.

Welcome,
Resale value sucks...but that helps when trying to buy...everybody on CL and facebook marketplace wants to trade these days...trade it for a smaller bike...
Touring bikes look like *** stripped down..
