My Road King

Well, 7 weeks to the day I totaled my bike, I purchased another.  I was looking for something bigger than my Softail that would be more suited for traveling.

The Road King is the smaller of the Touring line of bikes from Harley.  It comes with saddle bags for storage and can be fitted with other amenities, such as a fairing, windshield, and Tour-Pak.

As you can see in the image below, this one is quite simple compared to the Heritage that I once owned not long ago.  It has a simple black paint, and an ugly logo which will be removed soon enough.

I've been scouring the internet for ideas to transform this thing into something more pleasing to the eye.  Well, at least my eye.

I've already put close to a hundred miles on it - even with my gimpy leg.

The first thing that I need to get is a reach seat.  My feet sit flat on the ground with a bit of effort, but I'd like to be even a tad closer to the pavement.

Here it is in all its splendor.
