I've now had this 1999 Road King from new. After 10 years, her suspension was gone, most of the Chrome was gone and the paint in need of a total. In addition to doing all the front a rear suspension, all paint and Chrome I've swapped the CAMS to a gear driven S&S, bought a Mustang Solo and now know a pile more about them than I did 2 months ago (which used to stop at engine oil). For the cost of a tool box, and a heap of nites on this forum there's not a lot that I now wouldnt do myself. Next job's upgrading from the current 88 to the 95.
