Hi, my name is Justin. I am a long time lurker on this forum and I have learned a bunch from listening to you guys. You helped keep me from wasting money on things that were not worth doing, and as such I figured it was time to join.
I have been riding since 2007, and got my 2003 Anniversary Road King Classic in 2010. I loved each bike I owned as each one had a "distinct" personality, some better than others. LOL.
My main project right now for the King is to put a 95 inch kit, cams, and heads on. I know about how much it will cost, due to a friend back home doing the same upgrade to his King a couple of years ago. Right now it is nothing more than buying parts as I get the money. The goal is 95 horsepower, 95-100 ft-lbs. of torque. Then comes the job of changing the bars (stock bars are a weapon of torture), changing the seat, going to hard bags, and adding a trunk for trips. I will be keeping the leather bags for when I am around town as I like the way they look so they are not for sale.
Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and say hello.
