Still needs some seriously cleaning. All the chrome is pretty grimey, hasnt been cleaned since I smoked a deer last summer.

Heres a few more progress pics.

carb set up looks crazy

 

[PapaKonkel]

Yeah slothy. It was really fun to get jetted... took about a day. I like it though, something a little different. Not too often you see a big carb sticking out on the end of an intake anymore.

Looks good. I have a buddy looking to do the same thing with his EVO RK

Looks pretty cool. Post good pics when finished.

Your setup is quite common in the Islands..very good looking bike.

My Uncle has a '95 RK collecting dust. I've got some ideas for it if I can pry it away from him cheap enough. Like what you're doing here. Those Bro bars are awesome. Got a friend that runs 16's on his Road Glide. Most comortable ape I've ever felt IMO.

Bike looks awesome, who cares what year it is...

A nice Bagger is nice regardless of age IMO.

I miss those bars! That's what my RK looked like but a black version. Very nice PapaKonkel. You mentioned you cut the mount on the trees? I noticed you're using the stock nacelle. Maybe you can get a raked bucket if you're having issues with the headlight pointing up..

Dude that looks sick,I just picked up urban bagger and they are doing up a 97 electra glide showing that evo's are still cool.

 

[WFO-SG]

Your bike is sick man. Good work

 

[PapaKonkel]

Header wrap and badges on.

808- The headlight is adjusted down so it does shine correctly. The bucket is slightly up though. I would consider a raked bucket if I could find one that wasnt stretched... I know they are popular, just not the look I'm going for.
