Andrew's Harley-Davidson Road King

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Exactly how I would build a road king. 10/10

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you. Judging by your name I would think you'd do the same thing. Haha

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

Love it, dude! It's cool to see a bike and initially be caught off guard and think, "wait, wtf IS that?!" haha. Seriously, it's incredibly unique and everything you've done is purposeful, classy, and good looking!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thanks Peter. We appreciate the comment

[@IanTheEarlobe]

These videos where other guys talk about their harleys are my favourite. Awesome bike and I love the fairing!

[@speedpig513]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@rkrock2514]

There's just something special about the Road King! It's Classic lines, it's Kool demeaner! Andrew, your Road King is just Killer!! Thanks Matt & the Laidlaw Harley Krew! You guy's Rock!!

[@luisoutumuro424]

Badass Andrew. Love the exhaust note!

[@MattLaidlaw]

Road Rage is a great sounding exhaust!

[@MerrittW]

Love it Andrew, makes a roadie look super sporty, chrome and black look is slick, your father should be proud of this build.

[@MattLaidlaw]

This ain't your grandpa's Road King Anymore

[@hemi398]

Great to see that personalized look and feel is still thriving. Never would haver guessed it was a Road King.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Andrew was going for something out of the ordinary and I think he accomplished that

[@kaniwetini2784]

Yes! I’ve been waiting for this video Andrew as always goes above and beyond with his builds. This bike is no different, this things a killer ride 🤙🏽

[@MattLaidlaw]

He goes all in for sure. This one was about a year in the making

[@jeff-le1tp]

Changing the fork lowers and tubes changes the look so much. Awesome bike.

[@paulbronnenberg2075]

Real nice Andrew ! The fairing is perfect and the headlight modification is a nice accent. Thanks for sharing !

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you. Can't go wrong with a Baja Designs LP6

[@gfunk63901]

Great video. California is so different in terms of the style. I may not like everything because I’m not used to it, but one can’t argue that all of you Californians put your soul and craft into what you all do.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you. We do like our bikes out here.

Very different. You guys are very imaginative and set new trends that the world follows. Great work.

Badass! Never thought of doing that to a Road King but you pulled it off beautifully! Absolutely 🔥🔥🔥

[@MattLaidlaw]

Thank you ! We appreciate it

[@jacobhiggins1195]

Love the channel Matt! Great content! Bought my 21 street bob last year after watching your reviews on them. Recently had the stage 2 SE kit added to the bike. Awesome bike love it!

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Ditto. Except I got a 20 sporty iron. Brian is phenomenal, ive only had old sporsters and now a new one, dreaming of a street glide, but I absolutely love his content.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Awesome man. I've ridden the stage two Street Bob. It's a great feeling motor mod. Enjoy my friend. Thanks for watching the channel!

Andrew, bike looks outstanding, sounds incredible. Like all your choices, upgrades, always a big Road King fan. Nice work!

[@wcraiderevo8078]

Andrew, you knocked this one out of the park. I do like the fairing and the fact that they headlight sticks out just a little bit. It looks good that way. I know it shouldn't but, it does. Post an update if you go the S&S cam route.

[@speedpig513]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@innovationgroupofsouthflor4744]

Great Job! The bike is beautiful.

[@ZildjianMan30]

Great presentation and editing. That's a very nice custom bike.

[@jasongallagher7646]

Looks subtle but has a custom look. Great thought in your layout, like your style and especially your RG. Nice RK!

[@arohaki1]

Love the BD light mod needs to be a standard option for the FXRT fairing

[@TaterNate12]

Dad is going to want his bike back now haha

[@MattLaidlaw]

LOL, Andrew has been avoiding his calls.

[@robertrodriguez2412]

Man that is a clean bike. That fairing blends in well with the rest of the bike. Pooty nice! 👍

[@keninthewind6216]

What a beautiful build! I had a '84 FXRT and loved it! I now have a '05 Road King and I would love to make it like yours Andrew! Very nice 👍

[@speedpig513]

Thank you sir!

[@mikeessary4925]

Very nice Andrew!!

You are absolutely correct as riders we are never happy always looking for the next mod

[@gorillahd9247]

Really nice build. That turned out great!

[@gtsteele6219]

Really nice upgrades and personalization. Blends the best of the new HD looks with some vintage vibe. HD should make it a Road King option.

[@timhenry6403]

Hi Andrew. That is just pure sickness!!! What a great story and what an amazing job you’ve done. Your dad must be proud! Ride safe!!!

[@daemon9737]

Great vid and such a nice bike. Looks excellent!!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Looks real nice man. Do they make that fairing for 2004 road king?.

[@mrharleyguy2u]

They do. Fairing is $849 and the mounting kit is another $600+.🫤 russwernimont.com/collections/fxr-fairing/products/fxr-fairing-mount-kit?variant=30264586895411 russwernimont.com/collections/fxr-fairing/products/fxr-fairing?variant=30254165655603

What a transformation! I dig the look you made a lot. Those risers and fenders and fork treatments are dope. I'm surprised there is no aftermarket ABS you could install. Nearly every word I heard gave me new insights to Bike building. I heard terms I never heard before, so I felt like a student being mentored by a master. Thanks Andrew!

I tried to buy those CVO wheels for my 2021 Road King Special and was told they are VIN specific. Is there a way around that?

Great build 👍👍👍enjoy the ride ..

[@roadking681]

Beautiful unique bike the only thing I would do is swap out the plastic rear floor boards for either blacked out or chrome. Other then that that's an awesome looking unique bike that makes it your own and not a clone of everything else on the road. Great build and thanks for sharing.

Thank you

[@dougbotha8768]

That’s really cool that you had the chance to get your dads bike. It’s kinda like he will always be riding with you. For the longest time I didn’t really like the faring on the road kings but they are kinda growing on me. The black is dope super clean

[@mojomanmurph1925]

That fairing works well with the Road King. I can relate and agree about going with more torque. Chrome looks great on this. I personally like the exhaust setup on this compared to the shorter pipes. Ever thought about just running speakers in the saddlebags only? Would it be enough or deliver adequate sound without adding the weight of speakers/stereo to the fairing? Lastly, has your dad ridden this yet?

[@MattLaidlaw]

The saddle bag speakers alone aren't great. They are more of a supplemental sound system. No, his dad hasn't had a chance to ride it yet. I'm not sure Andrew will let him. His dad won't give it back!!

[@Dinoxt12]

Solid RoadKing & your input on it's designing...Watch-out now, Harley has a new design Road King for production most likely next model year. The 2nd one you guys have put together from the LowRider.

Very nice build. Made in America is important to me as well, thanks for caring! Loved the video footage, really shows the great build. Harley really does make a great bike off the factory floor but a solid vision makes takes it to the next level.

[@MattLaidlaw]

Agreed. It's nice to start a build on an already beautiful platform. Just make your own touches.

[@barrybarnes96]

The suspension and upsized wheels, +2 inch forks (and fairing) are everything. I'm guessing this Road King now has way more lean angle than any other stock M8 model.

[@MedicareWire]

Congrats on a sharp build, Andrew. Love the look of that fairing on the touring chassis. A head-turner, for sure. Quick question. I'm doing a similar suspension setup on my Street Glide. Where are you getting the longer kickstand?
