You left out flames. Lol

 

I did the work myself. Some parts where cheaper or a wash to buy new as apposed to getting powdered, ebay is also your friend when doing this. And who is gonna buy your chrome parts when they all come chrome anyway. I stand by my "I'd rather buy it with a blacked out engine" statement.

Plus the standard Road King has ugly wheels, fenders, and paint. Kinda like saying take the Tour Pak off an Ultra and you got a Street Glide, you don't.

 

I don't know about that. I would be willing to bet that for every guy taking the chrome off his brand new bike, there is another guy hunting eBay for cheap deals on those chrome take-offs, to put his used blacked out bike back to stock.

 

WHO....Well the guys that buy the black motor thats who is going to buy the used chrome.....if the bikes come with the turns on the handel bars they wanna put them on the forks, if it come with them on the forks... they wanna put them on the handel bars...after looking at the bike there is a lot of extras the bags and the whole *** end so its a not bad deal

 

Coming out of Kroger yesterday, some guy walking past my bike, puzzled, sees me walking up and says "is that a Roadking Special?" I said it was the 2014 prototype, but Harley went and messed it up by blackening out the front end. LOL

 

1/2 the RK's on IG are already customer built RK Specials. They're not creating a trend but following one.

I saw one at the dealer on Sunday. Good looking bike and something I'd really like to own but I also want a windshield and a better than stock seat (regardless of Special or regular) - dunno where the price break really comes tho. RK with upgraded bags vs Special with Windshield.

 

YOURE RIGHT,,,at the time i didnt notice the stretched bags, and CVO rear

 

nope, not for me. If the price was 5-6k less maybe. That kinda money, I want sparkle. Kroozeabout. just me.

 

look again, it's there.

if it's too black, you're too old...

 

I like it looks pretty bad ***. But I think they should have come with black bar and running lights. The engine is a little to black and plain on the left side should have put some chrome accents on the derby cover. Black crash bar. Tinted cvo shield and it would have been good.
