- A video some folks have been asking for. A complete detailed walk-around of all the upgrades I've made (over time) to my 2017 Road King Special. I think it's fair to say the bike is finally done!

@@darknessroadking Welcome what size hangers you got on her
Absolutely a knockout Road Kingt…Reminds me of 1958 with all the cool guys at the corner soda shop and their decked out bikes…!
Great comment, thanks!
Bad as bike bro this video was very detailed straight to the point . I am new to all this and I am looking at purchasing a bike this is exactly what I am looking for . Hopefully when I purchase we can link up and you can help me customize my bike .. this video what amazing along with your bike it is incredibly awesome
I spent a summer in Mexíco when I attended UTSA. Love the music brother.
Thanks homie!
Great bike. Greetings from Germany
Damn brah...bad ass. Just picked up my 2017 Road King special from Cowboy Harley inBeaumont, Texas. Looking forward to tricking her out. Gonna be looking at darkness for some ideas !!!
Thanks bro! Congrats on your RKS. The customizing process is almost just as fun a riding it. Stay blessed.
WOW Sweet Ride
Love the "glow" that this bike has. Bet it's hell to keep it polished tho. Nice looking ride.
Thanks for the comment Paul. The secret is actually that I’ve had the bike professionally ceramic coated twice since I got it (once in 2019 and again in 2023) keeps the paint looking like glass.
Very nice! I have also a roadking special 2017… also modded but not so far (yet 😎) as you have gone. Gives me nice ideas! Ride safe and keep the rubber down! 👍👍👍 Greetz from a fan from Holland, yes The Netherlands, land of the klumps, Gouda cheese, tulips and windmills.. 🤘
Thanks for the comment. Veel succes met je RKS!
Haha, dadelijk rijden er 2 in Nederland zo ongeveer rond 🤪
NICE !! YOU GOT IT PUT TOGETHER REAL NICE !! ROADKING NATION!!👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Hell yeah bro thanks for the comment! ROAD KING NATION!!
GORGEOUS!
Nice looking bike. Thanks for sharing all your ideas. Definitely a nice ride. 👍🏽🤠 9/6/23
Thanks!
1st! You know my opinion, absolutely beautiful build my brother!
Thanks E, appreciate your bro!
Beautiful!!!! Sir..
Beautiful 🎯 absolutely perfect ❤🔥🔥🔥
DANG, that bike is fire😳!! I’d be embarrassed for that bike to pull up right next to me at a stop light😂. VERY beautiful. I’m still not sure what I would do to mine. I’m kind of new to motorcycles. My wife just bought me my first bike as a 40th bday present last week. I can’t complain with what I have, which is a 2005 Road King Special. So far, love my bike as it is. I know I’ll do something to her over time. I have a buddy right now that wants to upgrade some stuff on mine. He loves working on bikes and cars. We’ll see what happens. Again, very, very beautiful bike👌🏽
Thanks bro, great comment! Congrats on the big 4-0, thats a hell of present. Best of luck with your Road King.
so legit! Thanks for the details.
Thanks for commenting, you're welcome and hope the info helps.
Solid bike fam!!!
And the sound 👍
Thanks G.
Beautiful
Wow! Hope to get my RK looking half as good as yours
BadAss! Darkness is a beauty Brother 🫡
Thanks, appreciate the comment.
That's sick bro. You killed it. Can you show how the lights look on a future video? ❤
Thanks and will do.
Amazing build. Exactly my style. I’m working on blacking out my street glide after seeing your videos. I’m in NY about 2 1/2 hrs away. Would be great to meet up sometime. I call my bike dark side.
That would dope to link up sometime. Dark side is an even better name than Darkness, lol. Best of luck with your bike! Thanks for commenting.
That is a bad ass Ride !!! Bro
Thanks Bro!
Thanks for sharing this, I'm planning extensive customisation of my RK Special and this helps a bunch! Can you please clarify the Italian company for those neat grips, couldn't find the source, also the horn I am a bit stuck with! Great video anyhow, will subscribe right now!
The grips are from Vitydesign.com and for the horn contact saddlebagman.com (Hugo Rivas). Thanks for commenting!
I'm getting there... I bought a '21 RKS (also black) and I'm heading in a similar direction myself
Beautiful / Bad Ass bike 👍👍
YOOOOO.... FKN AMAZING BUILD💥
Thanks bro!
Very nice 👌
Sick!!
CLEAN BUILD
Awesome bike! I’m ready to trade my RGS for a Road King special!
Thanks and good luck whichever way you go. Im a super road glide fan too (like everyone else). Can't go wrong either way.
Very Nice
Bad az bike . I really like the passing lamp setup , I'd like to install one on my RKS.
Very nice mate i got a 97 heritage blue n white Vicla I also have a 2021 Ultra limited thinking of going part Vicla ...Enjoy...
Thanks and best of luck with your dresser vicla build, sounds awesome!
I have to admit this is the baddest Road King I’ve seen to date! In the M8 version.
I’m nearby where you’re at in Reading PA. Man I’d love to check out the bike in person sometime and ask whatcha got into this bike overall $$,$$$
Thanks bro, appreciate the comment. I'm definitely out and about in the NY/NJ/PA area hopefully we will run into each other one of these days.
She looks smooth brother .... jussssst right .
Thanks bro 🤙🏽
Nice!
Can’t wait to see more content. Love to hear this on the road some more, like to see a closer look at that front fender which you nailed. How much stretch did they add?
I got you bro, more content on the way (especially exhaust sound captures). The front fender was stretched 3 inches over stock,
3” is that after you asked them to take an inch off, to even up the bottom?@@darknessroadking
@@DeBa1226 exactly bc 4” (my original request) turned out to be too long for a 21” wheel.
The Baddest Road King
And I thought my road king was vato out until I saw this bike I need to step my game up a little more.Beautiful build love it. Curious to know if they make that foot board in chrome since mine is the opposite of yours I have everything chromed out
Thanks for the comment! Yes I believe that Cyclesmiths makes them in chrome as well. Best of luck with your King 👑.
Holy smokes 😍
Brother I don’t know where to start, but that exhaust sound is the best idle sound I’ve heard on any bike. This thing sounds like a NASCAR! You have full duals, no dummy pipe, correct? So the Thundermax, the S&S 550 Cam…any other mods that exhaust partners with to produce that sound? Love that you powder coated those end caps, have not been crazy about a big logo on end caps; would rather keep them guessing. 😂
Thanks but to be 100 percent transparent I recorded the cold start with a Zoom h1n external mic. and I think the gain on the mic might have been accidentally set a little higher than normal but not by a lot. The S&S big bore/higher displacement kit, 550cam and KWs Dominator with performance baffles (tuned w/ Power vision) is the complete list of parts regarding sound. I can tell you the bike is waayyy louder and sounds pissed off/mean compared to stock and even Stage 2. Check out my Bear Mountain ride video for a sound capture of the exhaust with the bike actually running and thanks again bro for the comment!
Bro I’ll check it out. So what bored out head and piston you running? Have you considered KW’s Reducer in your exhaust versus baffles? Ask them about that. Is that S&S Cam a low to mid range cam or a top end cam? OH!!! And how you stretched that front fender yet keeping that Road King style fender, is righteous! I kid you not, I love a 21” tire but always bugged me how than fender doesn’t come down the way it does on the 19” and I’m not crazy about those wrap around fenders. I love the classics RK front fender, although didn’t get a close look at it, but love how you kept that fender shape intact!@@darknessroadking
Dope ride man. I'm torn between performance mini bagger style for my Indian Chief and full vicla style. I have it more towards performance bagger at the moment but if I ever get another bike I will probably Vicla this one.
Thanks dude, a full vicla style Indian Chief would be amazing! (in my humble opinion). Whichever way you decide to go... best of luck!
@@darknessroadking thanks. I commute up from TJ into San Diego every day and love my full fairing on the bike which is the only thing stopping me. Thinking I might get a paint job done at some point
