"05 RK on 26" for sale/trade

[Owen87]

Somebody either talk me out of this, or buy it so I can move on.... 51k in receipts- 30k takes it home. 2 people bought it on Ebay, and I guess both of them were dead. Harley wont take it on trade because of the frame (HD drag bike chassis builder cut it, but it doesn't matter to them). I am getting frustrated. I want a bike with a fairing, or another sport.... TONS of info and specs available upon request. [email protected]

You could always turn that into a fairing equipped bike. I researched that before selling my King, pretty easy to do.

 

[Owen87]

By the time I put a fairing on and do new switch housings, wiring, blah, blah- it would cost me $6000. Easy. I'm not trying to be a pessimist, but I haven't spared an expense anywhere on the bike (other than a solid rear wheel, and I am still kicking myself for that ), so doing a "budget fairing" is out of the question. In MY mind, I have created the best RK I am possible of creating. I just hoped somebody would see it for that and want the bike as a RK. I could do a Glide and still enjoy it knowing I had the chance to sell it for a small loss later and build another bike. When I said I had 51k in the bike, I'm not adding all of the BS o-rings, quarts of oil, HD bolt kits, etc. I dropped a ton of bread in this thing (which I do not regret), but I need to stop now before it gets worse. EX: I bought 3 sets of bags to get the right ones. You have no way of knowing until you put your eyes on them. People are scared to call a spade on the forums because of the advertising $ I guess. I bought a $800 tank and spent 12 hours ($85 hr) getting it good enough to paint! That being said- it looks gooood (IMO). But so much of this stuff out there is junk, and I don't want to start junking up the bike now. I put much thought into the direction of this bike and I defiantly didn't buy a "starter kit" from some parts stamper. It just gets frustrating seeing the "custom bike world" turn into the import stick on plastic crap scene... Sorry for the rant.

I watched the whole video. The bike is amazing. I love everything about it. Do you want the fairing for the looks, wind protection, or the stereo? It is a very sweet bike for sure! If you just want to start over, then I guess get rid of it.

 

[Owen87]

Wind protection and a stereo. I am an hour away from any other bikers so I am worn-out by the time I get to the place we all meet up to ride! I think I would also like a 6 speed. Maybe I just want something new.....


And thanks for the compliment!

 

[vrog]

i have seen your bike before its very nice.

I also think doing a fairing would be the cheap way out. I dont know where you are getting $6K?? I would think $4k said and done would be tops.

But hey, If you want to just get rid of it and start over i totally understand. I have done that several times too! Good Luck

 

[Owen87]

Here is my thought: Since I have the billet gauge on the triple clamp, it means I would have to build a custom inner for the RG fairing to house a head unit and speakers. $1000 for a fairing, $2000 for stereo, $2500 for inner build and paint, $500 because it is a Harley!

Matching the paint is pretty complex, plus the fiberglass cant be stuck around some wood scraps like they show on TV. I spent a bunch of time getting that nacelle right since most of them cover the bar clamp.

 

[Classic$98]

I agree it would be very pricey but then it might be perfect?

 

[Owen87]

I forgot to add in the hand controls... :-(.....

Thanks Ryan! If I wasn't so cash-poor I would be on a Street Glide right now......!

Owen,

JD here who offered you the low mile BMW745Li and some cash for your bike a year ago.. I have some ideas on your stereo and fairing options and i have seen the work the guy does, not as much as we think on the price...

Reach out to me and i'll give you my number.

As for the 6 speed, switch it out for a baker, problem solved on that..

By the time you start over again you are so close i would just get the mods done to what you have, but, that's my .02...

Hey, i tried to get you out of this a year ago.. LOL... Kidding ya.. Have a good one man..

If it sold on ebay you can file a claim and the winner has to buy it. Or get with some guys on here converting to roadglides and make you sweet bike a sweet street glide with their old parts. Just a thought.
