Awesome thread! I will using this for reference in the future. I am going to be buying an Evo Road King in the near future to go along side my Heritage Springer, and I want the old Duo Glide look. The bike below is not mine, but it one I found when looking for Evo Road Kings.

Thanks! My brother has a '02 RKC, and I have fallen for them. I want with a EVO just because I know and love them, not really that I have anything against the TC's. I am definitely a carb guy though, so even if I end up with a newer TC bike, it will have to be a carbed. I am visioning a black bike with white two tone paint (either '57-58, '60, or '65 EG schemes- I can't decide) I want a RKC with wires and WW's with hard bags, fishtails, and a solo seat with a hand rail.
Below is a pic of my brother's King. He has changed the Boom Cans that came on it when bought it since this pic was taken. He also has a Sundowner solo seat that he runs when he and wife aren't riding 2-up. I've just about got him talked into fish tails and this thread has helped! -lol

Front Fender Light install
Hello everyone. I'm new to the Forum, and hope you guys can help me out here.
I bought a new 2011 Road King Classic last year. Fantastic bike. I really dig the "retro" or old school look as seen on the many great bikes shown in this thread. Thus far, I've bought and installed the front and rear fender "V logo" chrome rails.
I also just bought the Rail and Stanchion kit for the front fender, and finally, the Front Fender Light DOM, as offered on the Heritage Springers in '97 and so on.
Here's the question: Is there an easy way to wire up the light? Is there already a place to "plug in"? Is there an "Installation Kit" that I should get?
I would like to wire it up so that anytime the Headlights are on, the Fender Light is on.
Thanks for the advice and help, etc., this is a great Forum.

Here's a few pics of the Light.

As far as wiring, if you look behind the headlight nacelle, there should be a small connector that you can plug the fender light into.
For drilling, find a spot that looks flush and set it up, I have some pics in my album showing my fender light.

There should be a hole already in your fender near the left front brake caliper.

I'll check it out tonight. Really appreciate the help.
My next move will be the Saddlebag Guards, that appear to perfectly match the double rail look of the "V-Logo" fender accent Rails. One question though - and you can see them on the pic in Turkey Run's last post - do the rails interfere with the Leather RKC Saddle Bag straps / fasteners? It looks like the clasp ends up behind the rails, does this become a PITA?
Thanks again for all the help and info, great Forum, and great Thread here.
