Road King Special (Le Pera Silhouette seat and S&S Mk45 mufflers w/ Cutlass end caps)

[@pomdejesus8150]

ive been watching your videos and saw one of your vid where you mentioned you had your front wheel upgrade from stock to 21" from Metal Artopia. Do they have a stock design of 2021 Road King 107 for 21" upgrade? i like your idea of having the same design with your stock on 21"

[@darknessroadking]

Not sure if they do, but every time I check their website they have new offerings. I would shoot them an email and let them know what you're looking for. Good luck!

[@2021FLHRXS]

Dam that’s a sweet RKS real nice custom touches. Sounds great👍👍

[@TheCuttz1984]

Hot bike mate. White wall look great

Thanks 👍

Where did you get the gloss black headers ?

[@darknessroadking]

The heat shields were locally powder coated gloss black.

Beautiful road king,badass lepera seat.

Thanks!

[@timberninja]

Damn dude that's one gangster bike! Beautiful build.

[@danielE8102]

Very cool bike! Extremely nice color. Sounds awesome too.

[@randerson4124]

it's all in the small details, where did you get the strap kit for the blanket? did you just repurpose some straps, or was it made for use like that right behind a solo seat? I have a Road King Special as well, and I want to have a blanket right behind my solo seat like that.

[@darknessroadking]

Def agree about the details being everything.The bedroll straps and sarape blanket were purchased from a California vendor named Stellas_Parasols, which you can find on Instagram. Just send her a message, she's super approachable and ships out fast. In order to affix the straps to the back of a solo seat I used two small black zip ties (one on each side) which connect the straps to the solo seat by looping them through the seat's metal mounting tabs. Once you place the mounting tabs over the rear fender screws and tighten down the seat bolts you won't see the zip ties anymore. Hope this helps, thanks for leaving a comment!

[@Phatboy_Customz]

Another great vid cj and awesome bike! Is that seat the Lk-857 model?

[@darknessroadking]

Yes its the LK-857 LePera Silhouette seat.

[@Phatboy_Customz]

How's it going , hey bro how much did Engle bros charge you for the front fender extension? I ask because they gave me a kind of ridiculous quote...

[@darknessroadking]

They did my fender about a year or so ago and it wasn’t cheap. The price for the stretch was about what others charge but the shipping back and forth is what made mine $$$.

[@Phatboy_Customz]

@darknessroadking ok I see, I sent u a message via Instagram with the price they charged me ,I kind of wanted to see if that was around the same ballpark, don't get me wrong ,I know prices go up, I just thought that quote was way up there, let's just say it was close to a grand, and for a fender stretch that sounds way out there. I'd probably just go with an alternative like the fiberglass stretched fenders sold for under half of that quote

[@darknessroadking]

@@Phatboy_Customz just hit you back on Insta

[@rkindred4005]

550 cam?

[@darknessroadking]

Yep 👍🏽

[@mkb3580]

Beautiful bike my friend.

[@GreasyHog69]

Could you tell me where you got your blinker kit to make it look like the classic and relocated them off the bars.. i like that a lot

[@darknessroadking]

They auxiliary lights, turn signal housings and light bar are all OEM Harley from a Road King Standard. Came in chrome and I had them powder coated gloss black.

[@bakewelltl]

I noticed in later vids you removed the front fender accent pieces (trim and lettering). My '23 RKS is desperately in need of some front fender love. Where did you find front-fender pieces that fit Darkness?

[@darknessroadking]

I actually just sold that fender last week. So with that fender I was going for an all blacked out RK Standard front fender. The thing is in order to run the fender trim you need the Touring fender that already has the holes and indent in front to accept the trim pieces. I found a used RK Standard fender in need of paint on eBay. Then bought the fender front trim, emblems, fender skirt, and rails all in chrome and had them powder coated. Had the fender repainted (local auto body $120) fit the trim on and thats it!

[@bakewelltl]

Awesome--thanks for the insight!

[@randmartinez]

Darkness I actually bought the fender from you. Looks great on my bike. 👊🏼

[@darknessroadking]

Thanks, running Shinko triple 7s.

[@oldsparky14]

better than oem dunlops ??? @@darknessroadking

[@darknessroadking]

Probably the same quality wise which isn't great but Shinko is the only company making a 21"/18" whitewall combination (so no other choice at the moment).@@oldsparky14

[@oldsparky14]

I am running cobra chromes on my rks but they are not white walls@@darknessroadking

[@darknessroadking]

Avon cobras are great tires (I ran them also before switching to whitewalls). They performed than these Shinkos but I needed the WWs. @@oldsparky14

[@fellerlokanata8249]

nice RKS! may I know the lighting barnd that you done for the back and the bag part, thank you

[@vtwinnking]

Bike looking mean! What white wall tires are you using?

[@darknessroadking]

Thanks! They are Shinko 777 HDs. Not the longest lasting rubber but sticky and they look the part. Plus they are the only whitewalls on the market for a 21"/18" wheel set up.

[@caseysimmons772]

Where did you get your passing lamps and that trim piece on your front fender?

[@darknessroadking]

So the parts are all Harley stock parts from an M8 Road King standard. They come in chrome and I had them powder coated gloss black locally before installing. Also, if you're thinking of running front fender trim you'll need a different FLH front fender than the one that comes on the special. One that has the holes to accept the fender trim. The fender in this video I found on eBay for cheap but needed to be repainted.

[@shortyrock804]

What type \brand of speedometer do you have on your bike. It looks and sounds amazing!!

[@darknessroadking]

Thanks, its a Dakota Digital MLX speedo.

[@DeBa1226]

You have an S&S 475 Cam with that exhaust?

[@darknessroadking]

It’s a S&S 550 cam (part of their 124 kit). I had the 465 for stage 2 then went big bore and it got replaced with the 550.

Carlini makes good bars no doubt but been there done that. Since they’re so iconic (Carlinis) everyone has them. Check out Steady Custom for new designs along with some classic options.

[@terrysmith2032]

Was your bike a 114 before installing S&S 124 Kit

[@darknessroadking]

No, it was a 107. If you start out with a 114 then the big bore should be a 128.

[@eddie4158]

can I ask about your front fender? is this stock fender? I currently upgraded my front wheel to 21 inroch (120/70/21) and order 21inch wrap fender from ebay but it didnt fit on mine can I just go with stock fender on my new 21 inch?

[@darknessroadking]

So in this video the fender is a stock FLHR fender with the stock fender trim (powder coated gloss black). You can go with a stock fender it will just need fender lift brackets. Here I’m running the Arlen Ness ones. This will ensure the stock fender won’t rub on the 21” wheel by raising its mounting position upward a couple of inches, then you’re good to go!

[@eddie4158]

[@RoadKingChronicles]

Sweet bike bro. There did you get the black center console? I’ve been looking everywhere for one to go on my tank to black everything out.

[@darknessroadking]

The black console is the stock one that comes with the bike. I removed the console from the bike (which isn't hard to do), carefully peeled off thin metal decorative insert which is glued on, hit it with goo gone and then had it re-painted vivid black by my local auto painter (less than $100). You could also go the Bad Dad route and buy a custom console from them but then you still have to get it painted. The "use what you already have" way made more sense to me economically.
