+1 with the chrome V-rail.

 

Looking good! I think the nostalgic bag guards that you have are the ones for hard bags though.

 

So far, so good but lots more money to spend.

 

How about an S&S tear drop air cleaner? I bought one for $5 at a swap meet and I made it fit my fuel injected bike. Looks great and totaly retro

 

[QUOTE=bigskyhd;4409471]Lookin' good. You need a nice low Corbin solo to bring out the Retro look. Nice job though.[/QUOTE
Bike is looking great but+1 on the corbin and some fishtails for retro,

 

Heres what I was going to do to the Heritage to further its 'retro look'.

There's really NO reason for a TC to have the cone motor look. I was thinking of a flat timing cover to make it have an old shovel or Pan kinda look to the engine.

Click HERE for kind of what I was thinkin.....

But, since the Heritage flew off of a cliff in Tenessee... I've moved away from the retro look. HAHA

 

To get ideas for my bike, I oogle over pictures in old Harley books. Look at the items that were stock or Harley accessories from back in the day.

A Road King with hard bags takes it's influence from '60-'64 FLH Duo Glides and '65 and up Electra Glides. Quite a few of the items on those bikes are still available today.

I never really thought of the Road King Classic's leather bags as that nostalgic, but they take a nice nod to late '50's FLs.

There's plenty you can do, just look at lots of pictures and get ideas.

 

Great start. I feel your pain on the Mad Money. Like me a little at a time. My Motor gets something new only once a month.

 

Sgt: Nice looking bike. You've picked probably the best Harley for creating the retro 'look'...but I might be biased.

Take a look at the sticky on top of the Touring Section (Turning a Classic into a Classic). Many of the pictures were lost when they switched servers but you still can get the idea on what others are doing to their Road King's.

Keep posting and searching for new ideas...lots of good people here who'll help you spend your money.

 

His seat is a stock Road King seat and should have a pillion to go with it.

Hers a pick of my original seat with the small pillion.
