I realize that most folks go the other direction, but I was looking for a Road King when I came across this bike:



Its a ridiculously clean 2003 with 13,000 miles on it. Bought it for $6,000. If it's not TOO big a project I would turn it into a Road King.

What say you?

 

That's a beautiful bike! I'd ride it for a quite a while before making any big decisions like that. Why do you want to do the conversion? Mainly for the detachable windscreen?

 

Yeah. Visibility and weight reduction. It will be a training/competition bike.

Thanks Bikerlaw! It hadn't occurred to me that I would need a different tank. That might be a deal breaker.

 

I don't think you will need a diff tank - The Police RK has a mount for the
tach that they use mounted on the bars...if I'm not mistaken. Put a speedo
in the tach mount and save some money. The speedo in the fairing may fit?

Check out the pics of police road king on google. Good luck. Looks like a great platform.

 

I did a EG to RG, lots of work but i enjoyed it

Change to a RG?

Ing & speedo - would be the deal breaker for me

Ride it the way it is, bet you will learn to love it
