Well, I am almost there. Clean front fender, detachable fairing made from OEM fairing parts, RG rear tail lights.
What is missing is the SG lower fender skirt and saddle bag fillers. Of course my friend went and beat me to it, and put those on his '06 RG. So I'm not to sure I will copy him, but damnit I had the idea first
But 3/4 of the way to a Street King.

Pumba11 - Yep - you got it. I spent a half hour looking for the pic I enclosed
and you "nailed" the look I was talking about I had a "line" on a prepainted takeoff "clean" fender for my RK but lost out on the
Ebay bid - that would have started me on the StreetKing path
I've got my eye on a FatBoy front fender tho -- I'm not giving up on that look
Nice and Congrats!!

My '10 does not have a rear fender lite. - It had a bumper - but I took that off with a couple of wrenches. Rear looks similar to the older RoadKing Custom - I'm taking it slow and easy. But I'd like to get a clean front fender
Ride Safe!

My street king would have:
1)no fairing (batwings are not for me)
2)rear lights ala SG (2 lights doubling as brake and turn w/o
the center light)
3)rear fender ala SG with low 3 bar light
4)color matched bag fillers
Not "so" different, but just enough so diehards would know some thing was up and others wouldn't even notice.

I like the looks of the street glide rear fender/ taillight ect.. and I've decided on a road king for the removable windsheild, lack of tunes (which I would not use), the look, and the ride. So I'm thinking there must be a bunch of front hit street glides out there that the parts could be had from to make a "street king". Clean and different me thinks. Pics, photoshop(?), and opinions all welcome!

So, you equate riding time to number of posts? And you equate "having a bike" to owning a Harley? So whats up with that post Mr."Aviator"? What is it that you really want to know? Is this some little members only site? Last post I made drew another Mericun valew responss- "ditch the wife and buy the bike". I love to ride and I love my wife (and yes I ride alot) but I'm tired of jumping from bike to bike and bike brand to bike brand and likely the next one I buy will be the last. I probably would still be riding BMW if they hadn't forced my little mom and pop dealership out because they didn't emulate the Harley like boutique that they wanted. I am developing a good relationship with an HD dealer 2 hrs away because they treat me with respect, have offered a good trade for my Ducati, and the dealership that is 50 minutes away has the same pompous "if you ain't on a Harley- you ain't ...." attitude that has kept me OFF Harley for the last 35 years of street riding. And when I do get my Harley, shoot me if I my mind starts shrinking! Now, Do you like the idea of a street king or not?!?
