A video some folks have been asking for. A complete detailed walk-around of all the upgrades I've made (over time) to my 2017 Road King Special. I think it's fair to say the bike is finally done!

DANG, that bike is fire😳!! I’d be embarrassed for that bike to pull up right next to me at a stop light😂. VERY beautiful. I’m still not sure what I would do to mine. I’m kind of new to motorcycles. My wife just bought me my first bike as a 40th bday present last week. I can’t complain with what I have, which is a 2005 Road King Special. So far, love my bike as it is. I know I’ll do something to her over time. I have a buddy right now that wants to upgrade some stuff on mine. He loves working on bikes and cars. We’ll see what happens. Again, very, very beautiful bike👌🏽
