OK, I did it....

After years of resistance I finally went out and got a Road King. Still have the real motorcycles but I just couldn't pass up this one. '58 duoglide paint scheme and more goodies than I can list. I must admit I like the Hyd clutch and Baker direct drive 6 speed. Big bore gives it just enough oomph not to be a slouch. Chuffing along at 35 or 85, feels relaxed either way. Came with an extra set of bodywork, an I-Pod and a GPS too. the possibilities are endless. Maybe I wont hafta pull the trailer with the ZRX anymore.









The '58 it's supposed to mimic...

Man, that is purdy!  It matches the Chevy quite well.  But '58?  Since when did a 58 have single headlamps?  Anyway, nice ride.

Beaut!

she is tricked out very nicely... congrats on the purchase.  

regarding HDs... FLs are the ones that still stir my soul.

The B.C. sticker on the back of the hardbag makes it.  Congrats.

Wow, I hope you got it for free.  It'll never run 3 days in row

Thanks for the compliments, I'm stoked, first big cruiser for me other than a couple CB900C's I had 20+ yrs ago.

  That last pic is a 58 HD Duoglide. I didn't think "58 FL's came with 3 lights?

If you mean the car, '55 hardtop, original color too. T'was special order in 55 according to the owner. Wish I could afford that baby too. Guy's asking $32.9K , 283 4spd


BC was a nice touch, the previous owner painted it on. cleared in, close your eyes and you cant even feel it. There's even a little "going fast" BC sticker on the trunk.

tasty. the bazillion spoke wheels are sweet tool.

OK now I remember seeing this before.  Just after you left the internet started working again.  That is sweet looking, duo-tone soft color Harleys are old school cool for sure.  

My favorite is still the orange and cream one I saw last year, I joking called the bike his Dreamsicle, the owner laughed, bought a Stewarts orange cream soda and took off into the dusk.
