Turn a Classic into a classic

Looks sweet, but for God's sakes rider her man!

2002 Firefighter Road King.. not a 'Classic', but I think it meets the intent of turning a 'new' RK into a 'retro' RK. She's had a bit of motor work done.. 95", gear drive cams, flowed heads, V&H true duals with SE slip ons and fishtails. She's putting out right at 95HP & 100TQ at the rear wheels - with reliability being a must when I built the motor. 1" shorter Progressive 440s out back and stock length Progressive fork springs up front made a big difference in the way she handles.

That's a georgeous King Chris. How do you feel about the braking with the single front rotor. I really like the clean look without the right side brake.

OPINIONS PLEASE: Friends, way back when I bought my bike it had the old-style visors on the headlights, front and rear signals. I changed them to the newer style visors a couple years later, but everytime I see another RK Classic with the older style visors I get a bit nostalgic and think about changing them back. Both look good on our Classic's but I'm thinking again about winter projects. Please share your opinion on likes/dislikes of either option. The first photo is of the old-style visors (around 2004), the second is what the bike looks like now (2009).

Thanks -W.
