Yeah Mr. Mud, like your whole setup.
How do the longhorns handle at low speed for you?
Whose wheels and style.
Good look.

Thanks for the compliments!

So...they are wide....If I am turning tight enough to turn all the way left or right.....got to lean forward some because your opposite arm will need to get out there (i have short arms too....lol)...usually slow enough to have my feet down....like when parking/backing in.

I usually ride with my sundowner solo seat...which pushes me up and forward. It takes getting used to if you have never had beach bars....

It's not a big problem for me, but I can see where some folks would not like them.

I do enjoy beach bars on the freeway and mountain roads very much...much more comfortable for me.

ride wright fat spoke 21 in the front-avon tire.
rear is stock with american elite tire.

Love your bike Mr. Mud, where did you get that dash? I'm turning my 07 RK Custom into a cruiser and that dash would really fit with my ideas.

The 02 RK in my avatar had beachbars and I loved them. I found that I had to move my feet back when doing full lock turns to keep my knees from blocking bars. It looks kind of funny, but I am still in the habit of moving my feet back even on the bikes that don't have beachbars. LOL

The dash is a "smooth" joker machine....may be hard to find.
The speedo is an analog drag specialties speedo/tach combo. Had to route the "Pink" tach wire from the front nacelle for it.

Yeah....old habits die hard....lol....my knees don't hit...so I'm good.

Here are a couple of photos of my '13 King with just installed take-off Enforcers from a '16 RG that my dealer had. They came off a brand new cycle so the tires and rotors have no wear. I had it in for HD front cartridge installs when I asked if they had any take off sets.
I'm also waiting for a set of Howard's #2-3 blackline Ohlins
Can't wait for Spring!!
