2006 Harley-Davidson Road King

We started working on the rear of the bike with the installation of the Bullet Rear Turn Signal Bar and License Plate Relocation Kit (P/N 53702-04A, $247.95). The kit replaces the wide rear turn signal bar and large turn signals with bullet-style signals mounted tightly to the rear fender. It also relocates the license plate from the support bar, above the taillight to the bottom of the fender just under the taillight (not shown is the license plate bracket).

In its stock form, the Road King is a great all-around bike that looks good and is set up for touring. However, as with any of the base model bikes H-D sells, it's just that-a base model for owners to make their own. As a blank canvas, there is always room for improvement, whether it be performance, comfort, or cosmetic. For this article, we are going to focus on looks and show you how-for very little money and effort-you can clean up the lines of an '06 RK, releasing its inner hot bike.

Except for the Road King Custom, the front and rear turn signal setups on the other two Road King models are just big and don't do anything for the looks of the bike. Up front we're not really fans of the spotlights or the light bar that they are mounted to-although it is a signature look among many of the FL models. Out back, the rear turn signal mount is a big bar of chrome that nearly spans the entire rear section just to hold the two beacon-like signals

The H-D styling department is aware that not everyone may like the look of front and rear signals, and has developed kits to mount stylish and more sleek bullet-style turn signals. We headed over to Anaheim-Fullerton Harley-Davidson, where we photographed them knocking out this quick transformation.
