Default Road King Owners w/Custom Front Fender

I've seen a multitude of Street Glides and Road Glides with 19,21,23-inch front wheels and custom fenders. They all look awesome!!

I'm considering a new front fender now, and upgrading the wheels in the Fall (bonus time for my company).
I plan to be looking into a set of extended bags too, eventually, depending on my search results.

So I'm coming here... I wanna see your Road Kings with the wrapped front fender, stretched bags and custom wheels.

Yes, I've looked around, here and there, but wanted to see a collection of various styles! Thanks!

I used to own a RKC and was wanting to do the same thing, but I learned there are basic things to understand while you are looking. Each bike has lines that make it special compared to other bikes. The RK has chrome on the fender and the SG does not. SGs and RGs are good bikes to change the fenders because they are clean slate.

The problem with changing the fender on a bike with chrome to fender w/o chrome is that if not properly, it looses it balance. Notice that the Hogpro bikes are clean without a lot of chrome. The best RK to make those kinds of mod is the RK Custom which has'nt been made by Harley since 07.

I'm not saying don't do it because done right, RKs with custom fenders look really good. Just keep in mind the balance of the lines.

Beary, I think his bike would clean up nice without the chrome on the front fender.

He could clean up the back as well.

Thanks Pumba!! (Looking into the FLHX rear turn signals too.)

And yes Beary, this is why I came here looking for pics and ideas. I love the look of my bike now, but am considering changing things up a bit... at the very least, different wheels. Who knows?

I appreciate all the pics provided; some great lookin' Road Kings!!

Poser, what size wheel/fender are you running, and where'd you get the fender? Thanks!
