Well it started out fixing it for a friend and until then I was going to ride and repair it and fix it up for him. But on my birthday in Dec of 2011, He desided to sell it to me for $300.00 and said enjoy! I have done a few things to it and repainted it and it is a work in progress, But it RUNS for $300.00!!!! I have put about $75.00 into it with materals (I.E. Paint, Sandpaper, Missing or Broken parts). But it is turning out nicely I had to paint over a lot of the old Chrome that was rusting and looking sad. Had to Strip the Gas tank completely because it had parts of it were still the original Red, some was the blue, others were black, and some was rusting metal. I'm slowly working on it I put a set of Foglights I had just laying around on it. With some homemade Bracket and mounted the switch out of an old fence steel latch and mounted it with the handle bars. Will try to do a before and Current picture if this crappy computer lets me.
Can't seam to load any of my other pictures of the process but you get the main idea.

800 miles, got my new wheels put on Saturday. Check 'em out
February 20, 2012 3:12 PM PST
Yea, the tall ones. Think you will have to go local purchase on one of the tall ones now.

Nice wheels, sets it off!
February 20, 2012 3:20 PM PST
Dang Guero, I like those wheels! Going to add some paint to mine because it will help them stick out more and look newer again.

Going with black on exhaust and intake I think. Shooting for April for mods.
February 20, 2012 3:33 PM PST
Nice I'm going to black wrap on my exhaust because to get a new one is just to dang much with all the little things I have been doing.
February 20, 2012 3:38 PM PST
V&H exhaust and SE intake is my plan. Want a black sissy bar and rack, not having much luck finding what I want.

I will probably not get to post my new bike here because I love my Road King and will be hanging on to it for a long long time!

I want to get a sissy bar or backrest because of my back. Was not to into them but can't ride for long with out some kind of support. Then handlebars are next.

Seak, you don't need my approval, this is all you Airborne! Great job!

So here's mine Black9. It's a 2010 Street Bob. It could use a good washing as it's been patiently waiting for Spring. Yeah, it's a bit girlie but wait until I finish the bling. You all will see this bike in magazines. Next up...foward controls then a 15" sissy bar.
