Default mike1158..

Nice.. very nice. Close...very close, but not quite which is very encouraging to me. Here's how to see what I mean.. Go to the HD site click on touring bikes, then road king, then 360 view, turn the bike to show the rear, minimize it. Open a new internet window, go to the HD site, click on touring bikes, then street glide, then 360 view, turn the bike to show the rear and toggle back and forth between SG and RK to show both rear ends not quite simultaneously but one right after another. Sometimes I wish I was a little more computer savvy because I know it could be put up on one screen.

Funny thing about wrestling with piglets in the barnyard, the sooner you figure out the piglet is having fun, the better off you'll be, sooo....

Aviator, oh Aviator, I have 22 posts now, can I be a piglet rider now
so's I can grow up to be a big hog rider like you with over 3000(!)
posts? Can I? Can I?

Default I found it!

I knew it was to good of an idea for me to be the first. Check it out- Ebay auction #150493649088. (Sorry, don't know how to do a link, help?) Unfortunately it's the wrong color and a few to many other things to change for me, so I'll do my own anyway. Looks really cool to me! Street King.. Yaaaah!!!!

2007 was the last year for the FLHRS (Road King Custom). It had most of the design features you're talking about. The CVO Road Kings were given some of the same treatment. A "Street King" is a term generally used for a Road King with a detachable fairing, and some of the chrome bits removed.

The Street Glide came about by taking some of the design elements of the RK Custom and applying them to the Electra Glide. It was generally felt that the Road King Custom appealed to many of the same buyers who were buying the Street Glide, and was redundant and dropped from the lineup.

I really liked the looks of those "custom's" when they came out - Nice and clean - did not really care for those leather bags though.

You are right they are almost identical to the early Street Glides. Same passenger peg's same tank emblem clean front & rear fender

Question

The customs are a nice looking bike for sure, but they still miss the look I like and found on that E-bay listing I posted a few back. Sure wish I knew how to get those pics here.
