The front signals look good. I like the factory ones too, cuz I just got mine two days ago. Not sure if it's for me, but the lowers look awesome on your bike. What is that, an 11, 12, 13?
On another note, I got a new M8 softail last fall. It's a ripper, but still VERY impressed with the 103" on this huge bike. Very very smooth even pull. I can't hardly stand the stock quiet mufflers, but appreciate the silent acceleration. Lol. My new baby got some miles. How important is it to have tensioner checked, even though it's not an 88"?

And the newer bikes have the hydraulic tensioner, not the spring. Still check them on the regular intervals though.

Cool! Im guessing there's still a chain driving the second cam, it just hydraulicly holding tension, but idk for sure. I found a cool Indy I had do the 1k service on the new bike, I oughta just take it to him and have it gone over. Seems to run great to me. I've gotta get some slippers or something on it. I got a funky mental habit of "tightening the purse strings" following large purchases. Lol lasts about a month.

The Day Light LED Head Light at Harley goes for $499 aand the two Passing Lights go for $399= $ 900 + tax. You can find much cheaper ones but remember your talking "Cheaper" and usually you get what you pay for.

Really nice find on that RK. Sounds like the prev owner did a nice job with it, and it all looks 'correct', that is to say, not junked up. I really like the blue from that year, and although HD sold a truck load of 100 anniv bikes that year, you sure don't see many of the blue Road Kings around (or red like mine 
).
EDIT: What's the new seat you put on? Drag Specialties something?
