Hey everyone - new to this forum, but have been finding myself using it for a lot of helpful information.
I have an 03 Anniversary Road Glide that I decided to do some changes with...at first I was doing it myself and keeping it largely simple. I added an LED update, fairing drop kit, and a Soundstream radio unit. It was all good stuff but I kept eyeballing the new versions of the RG and it kept nagging me to consider more.
After looking at new prices and well sorted used stuff, I decided to keep what I had and have it updated with a lot of the new look that I like...so, here I am doing that!
Like I said, it started as a simple 'refresh' but it has turned into what I would say is more of a restomod. I'm going through the entire bike and doing updates. I am doing:
Geezer Engineering:
fork conversion: Triple-Tree, Fork-Slider, 49mm Tubes, Cartridges 2013 Touring & prev.
* this will take your 2013 and earlier, brake and fender but if you want to update to Bremos and the 2014+ fender the stock lowers will plug and play too*

180mm wheel/tire convert: Wide Carbon Fiber Fender for 2008 & earlier Harley Touring Models
easily the cleanest update out there!

These are the basics for everything I'm doing...there is more depending on how deep you make your updates and also its much smaller if you just wanted to do the Rushmore conversion only...I went deeper. Also I was lucky enough to get a 3D printed mod for the gauges to fit the new fairing.
I'm not doing this myself - its a puzzle that I'm leaving to my builder, Jim at Metal Dragon in Hayward CA. It's the third project I have dropped on his doorstep and I gotta say, the guy is a perfectionist in the best way possible. Ready to wade into the unknown, and has always solved any challenges with OEM quality and safety when its complete.
Ill continue to share what I learn along the way!

Like I said, it started as a simple 'refresh' but it has turned into what I would say is more of a restomod. I'm going through the entire bike and doing updates. I am doing:
- Rushmore conversion (keeping the same gauges though - no CANBUS update)
- 180 18" wheel update
- 41mm to 49mm front fork conversion
- tune, cams, true duals, modern bags, tour pack etc etc etc.
