However, I am not aware of all of California's over-reaching legislature and for all I know, having the lights in a box on the shelf in a closet is a felony there.
Hilarious Gerts but probably not far from the truth knowing that state.
No, not at all! I think the lights look killer and it's one of my favorite looking bikes on here. I think having the lights is fine as long as they aren't used in traffic, and certainly to garner attention or make people move. That would be a violation.

I think that taking them off or being made to is the real crime here.
Thank you. Definitely appreciate that! I'm going to do some investigation into the lights as I do love how they look. They definitely complete the bike. One of my old coworkers got hired on with California Highway Patrol a few years ago and I think I'll shoot him a call and see if he has any information on running them exposed. They are on a switch so they don't come on with the ignition. With my luck it will probably be a crime to have them in a box on a shelf in my garage though. 😂😭 Also I didn't realize how much everyone liked the bike until reading these comments. Thank you everybody!
I was looking into an old Police Road King for a while 6 months ago as a second bike. PD's just about all use RK's around here and I had a connection in Nassau PD. It's also the bike I really learned to ride on so, I have a soft spot for RK's. Decided not to spend the money. Really, I only wanted a beat up but good running bike for practicing slow maneuvers in parking lots and a different ride, just because. Having an upstate house , it would be awesome to always have a bike there. I like doing the slow speed maneuvers to keep my skills up but, when I push it hard I do worry about damaging my UL. **** happens no matter how good you think you are

I had had my mind made up about a RK for some time. I wanted to put an FXRT fairing on it because I love that look on the RK but I'm going to leave the windshield on as I'm using my RT fairing on my Dyna. This one just came up for sale and I slid in. There were several people trying to buy it. I got lucky. 4 years ago this was a frame off build for Born Free in SoCal.
Not necessarily "to my bagger". But set up the bike with my Insta 360 X3 . Tried it in a few spots on the bike but decided on the handle bar mount for now. All done in the garage. Have to get it out tomorrow maybe to see how it handles the HD vibrations. My GoPro smoothed it out well but this is on an extended selfie stick. Seems it might vibrate and shake. I'll know soon enough. Going Sunday to a NYC Toys for Tots ride that gets easily over a thousand bikes. "Ride to the Rock". Looking forward to getting some good video and photos.
Gerts, I gotta admit on 99% of things, you would be right, about CA, but it seems for the most part, they tend to leave bikes alone. Unless you are preparing for take off, then that's a whole nuther story. Lol, thinking of that, I watched a youtube video the other day, of an CHP in a "chase" on the freeway, in SoCal. The "speeder" was riding a KLR. Funniest "high speed chase" I have ever watched. The idiot rode to his house and actually looked surprised when they pinned him to the ground.
I just changed from a Freedom Shields Windsplitter 22" tall by 22" wide to a Memphis Shades Slim 17" tall by 18" wide. Now I just have to test ride it. The Memphis Slim offers adjustment up and down and forward and backwards which is outstanding!

That looks great. I dig that it has some tiny to it but not to dark!
