We have a soft spot for Road Kings around here so we were stoked to see this one rolled out for a photoshoot at Midnight Motors up in Auburn. Joe the shop owner nailed it with this King as he helped bike owner Donne create a personalized ride that will turn heads as it rolls by. While I loved my old Road King, it never did look this sweet. But I could totally see riding this one with pride if I would have been so fortunate. Great work Joe and congratulations Donne. Midnight Motors is a cool motorcycle shop that will help you keep your basic maintenance in order but is very capable of helping you create your dream ride. Swing by next time you are rolling through town and pick up your latest issue of Thunder Roads NorCal, while you check out some of the latest creations to come out of this shop.
But let’s get to the nuts and bolts here to see just what Midnight Motors used on this beauty.
