RE: Pictures of updates to my King
Nice job! The rack on the tour pack is making me think about getting the tour pack. That really makes it look good!
Happy riding!
Oh, and I am also 5'8", but what kind of trouble are you guys having? I am flat footed, and the stock bars feel natural... With the stock classic seat i do have to admit I feel like I am sitting on the bike instead of in it...

These two changes made the bike mine (if you know what i'm saying). I still might lower the bike 1 inch in the rearso that i have a little better footing when backing up. I can touch flat footed but sometimes I have problems if the road/parking lot are a little uneven.
Thanks for the nice words guys.

Ralph, The bike looks great! Dropping the bike 1" in the back will really help you when you try to back up. 1" doesn't seem like much but it helped me a lot.

RE: Pictures of updates to my King
I know I'm digging this post up from the dead, but...............
The problem I had with the handlebars is that they made me lean forward and after 4-5 hours in the saddle I'd start to notice that in my back. I still might get some handle bars that come closer to me... I still think that I'd like the bars 1" closer to me now (after 19K miles).

Great looking bike - the Road King Classic may be the very best looking bike Harley makes. Just keep in mind that every skull that you put on the bike reduces your time in Heaven by three weeks. Just sayin' ....

I purchased this roadking classic in the beginning of this year and I just love it. I think that I almost have it to my liking as far as making the bike fit my frame (I'm only 5'8" so bars and a seat swap really helped me out). You might not be able to see it, but I've put Skulls pretty much everywhere. I think I have about 3 skulls left to purchase to complete the bike. I was kind of worried that I'd have too many skulls, but I think it turned out fin (and can you ever have enough skulls!! ;^) ) I've also added the rkc tourpak and boy do I enjoy that extra storage space. I went ahead and put the chrome contoured luggage rack because i liked the looks of it on thescreaming eagle electraglide. Performance mods are just a K&N 3909 kit, VH dresser duals header pipes, Thunderheader mufflers, and the VH fuelpak.
Let me know if you like it (or not!
