Default RKC to EG/SG The transformation!

Last summer I traded my beloved 1970 Plymouth Duster for this 2000 RKC. I think I got the good end of the deal because lets face it. Its a Duster not a Road Runner. Anyways I did not really care for the color however once I had it configured to the old school style I was going for... It was great. Than I realized.. I have always wanted a black and chrome Street Glide. So I sold my beloved 93 FXSTC Softail and put the proceeds into this bike. Good choice I think! Here are pics of the process.

How I got the bike stock.

Curious how you can tell. Just replaced the fuel pump on it and I originally ordered one for a 99 because I thought it was one. Turns out it was the wrong pump. It is a 2000 or a pieced together 99 not totally sure but the engine and frame match.
