Here's mine with forward controls.

rking, I have never thought about putting forward controls on a touring bike, but I have to say I like them on yours. Looks good, are they better than the floorboards in your opinion?

Love the color. Always been one of my favorites.

ok here is my 1989 FLHTP . former police bike but driven year round in Toronto , and then butchered to use undercover and painted horrbly in the frame by taping off.
transmission is perfect rebuild; motor seems fine except one noisy valve train, new lifters coming, we'll see.
before and after attached, don't have after outside pic yet, still have bag guard rails to arrive soon, and it drives perfect and true, runs only on premium or else!! pinged so bad I had to put that gas in the lawnmower. and with true duals yet stock Keihin has alota snap and top end even with my excessively tall windshield. sold 1991 perfect FLHTP 30km to help fund $20000 hip work, added air hawk seat and backrest, AAAh! perfect after not riding 3-4 years without agony. the paint and new back rotor can wait till snow. it had 96, 473 two months ago now, with 98,401 km today and I just completed a poker run for breast cancer! Won a nice shirt for my wife. keep wanting to take it apart but NO, RIDE IT!

Yep, I like them a lot, got them from Jaybrake at Sturgis last year. Put them on myself, not hard at all. I sometimes miss the floor boards but as long as I can stretch out I'm OK.

My bagger is an 03 FLHT. Is 96" with 570 cam gear drive, SS carb. port and polished, shaved heads and other stuff which makes it run real good

. Just finished painting it. Still under construction.

A pic of my '01 Road King teh day after I picked it up. We're stopped at a "karaoke' Joint on the MaeKhong river. You might be able to see Laos in the background. The bike's stone stock ('cept pipes), clean and, at this point as only about 8,400 kilometers on it. I rode in the back lounge of the Ultra in the background from Chiang Mai to Udon to pick up a '95 heritage, I ended p with this bike. Udon is home to an old US air base fromteh Laos/vietnam era and is about 750 - 800 kilometer from Chiang Mai, soe of the most beautiful ridin' country you'll ever see.

I had put a deposit on the heritage of 100,000 baht (exchange rate at the time of this writing is 33.41 Thai Baht to one US Dollar). When teh time came to pick it up I cajoled a friend into coming with me (a miserable 9 hour on the back of that ultra ahs GOT to be better than a 800 Km Thai bus adventure through some of the most scenic mountain roads this side of paradise). The total pice on the heritage was 480,000 Baht. Those of you with a bit of math left in your brain will think this is a pretty high price, but in thailand where these bikes go for double what they do in the USA I can assure you this was a VERY GOOD DEAL.

Got into town found a place to bunk and a decent place to rest our elbows we got to the shop the next morning paid the balance and rode to the DMV. As I was payinthe fees filling everything out in triplicate and trying to keep a smile on my face I was approached by an englishman that had just bought a truck. He liked the heritage. He wanted the Heritage. He bought the Heritage. For 580,000 baht.

I had noticed the RK in the showroom before I left the shop. I did not want to sell the heritage. it was to be a base bike for a little hop-up, switch-back mountain road jammer I have in my mind. But a profit of 100,000 Baht? in a twenty minutes? As long I as I don;t have to sit inthe Ultra lounger I'll go for it. A deal was struck, I got a pretty good discount being I bought two in one day, even got a tee-shirt. I hope to pull enough profit from this to finance the above mentioned jammer.

THE Evo build is finished planned (as far as that goes). The parts sourced. the shop prepared. The Road King has To Go. Last night as I spent a few moments gong over teh compression ratio calculations tweaking a bit more dish in the pistons changing the quench clearances and just generally occupying my self with pipe dreams I started plugging in a few spec for a "A" motor twinkie build.

I'm still gonna sell it. The build must go on. There's an '88 with my name written all over it, cheap too. But I'm gonna miss this bike. And when the build is done, I'm gonna get me another one. So now, WHile the mental exercise of planning the Evo build is about to change from planning to doing, I've got a new build to start playing with. Things are right with the world. "Road King" The bike with a perfect name.

Anyway, I put a lot of miles on a shop softail here. I''ve put about 3000 miles on the RK in the last month and I'm a convert. It's my first "tourer" I guess at 58 I can justify a coupla luggage compartments. I'll mis her when she's gone.
