Keno and Paul Cox are amazing people to keep Larry and his legacy going for young builders to see!
Bike made such a transformation from what it was. It’s your bike and your building it to your taste f the haters.
Thank you!
That road king looks awesome. I would change the exhaust but other than that I wouldn’t change anything else if it was mine.
Bike looks great. F the haters. Tall bars definitely hurt performance but this looks more like a cruiser set up. Makes me want a road king!
Totally agree! Thanks! 🤘🏼
Absolutely beautiful bike!!!
But please put a chrome air cleaner on it!
I put one like theirs on my best friends blue RK that looks like that one but chrome with a blue filter
I just hope you are safe out there ,and that you are comfortable . God Bless you . Amen 🙏
Love that Indian Larry lives on . My favorite biker build off Billy Lane vs Indian Larry. This episode Larry said it’s about friendship/brotherhood he won but cut the trophy in half called it a draw
That’s great!
Love the bars not crazy about the pipes but everyone has opinions and the only one that matters is yours it's your bike
Thanks! You’re so right and everyone is certainly entitled to their own opinion lol we want you to have your own opinion! Just not when it’s provided cruelly 😁
If you're using GoPros for your video making, you can power them the proper cable and charging block and ditch the battery.
Ok I agree the bars look very cool the exhaust sucks Back to the bars. I’d be willing to bet within the year you’ll be getting lower handle bars
I ride w 18” bars on my road king. I can maneuver it just as easily as my ultra with stock bars. I’d go as far as saying I can handle it better
Straight PMA - The truest retaliation is having the haters be able to see you laugh, smile, and roll with the punches - Keep crushing it guys 🥊 ⚡️
My man! Thank you 🙌🏼 See you on the road
Such a beautiful build and transformation. Let the haters hate and if they don't like it, then Tanya can show them that the finger she wished had been the one that got cut is perfecly well. Your bike, your build, your lives, period. Great job on this build. CHEERS!!
🤣🤣 we appreciate that! Thanks for the support! 🤘🏼
Personally I love the looks you’re going for, kinda a low key Cholo vibe. I do suggest tinkering with the handlebars as in maybe an inch or inch and half back towards you. That small amount can be huge without losing the angle you are looking for when the bike is on the jiffy stand. PS I’m never going to bash someone’s style of bike looks that’s why the sell millions of different parts 😉
You got the right outlook!
Both bikes are so different but tastefully build, awesome job guys💪💪💪💪💪 just a suggestion i think it would look better with the clear taillight 🤷♂️
I think a set of Whitewall tires would push the Road Queen over the edge.
It's your bike do it how you want
Love the grips, but I still think you should have used pointed white & chrome ones like on you other bike. Something else I would do is extended bagger bags & a big trunk bag & maybe a front fairing. Other than that love the build.
Buy a second set of grips, great choice I've run them on all my bikes. Why two they will get dirty, that's a given. Keep up the great work, I've always been a road king fan.
We need a side by side before and after picture. Looks sweet though
We were worried about the twins ... 😎 FYI the RoadQueen looks great.
Love the Road King build the colors are fantastic, the meat hooks are badass, chrome everywhere excellent build. My wife loved it!
Thank you! 😁
You earned an extra solo cup for the Blazing Saddles reference! Classic!!
Hahah glad you enjoyed!
Oh, I see you already did rename your bike, beautiful RoadQueen.
Ape Hangers for Life. Looking good now as for the derby cover... Find an engraved derby and get a digital pic of your paint or the factory code for your local paint mixer and do it yourself.
My favorite.. most comfortable bars I've had are the buckhorns. All of the other I have found twist my hands out or in an unnatural direction. I like my thumbs forward ish to the center if that makes sense
Build your ride. Hope you like the grips. I have them in all black. I keep referring all the road king groups on FB to you guys to see these builds.
We really appreciate that!!
also... "Nasty Baggers" make custom chrome and black derby covers.
It’s your bike,build it the way you want
🤘🏼
Love the Handle Bars!! And Exhaust!! Seen multiple bikes in Daytona Beach Bike Week!! Same stuff!! U Guys Rock!!❤
Love the videos
Enjoy. You do you just keep the rubber down. Ride safe!!
Thanks, you too!
A big strong magnet helps sometimes if you lose small fasteners on the floor.
The "Reflections with Tanya" had me rolling
🤣🤣
That Bike looks SO Badass! The white hand grips actually look awesome! Great Job 😃 and the Queen Crown Gas Cap, So Cool 😁😎 Can't wait to see Tanya ride 👍
They missed the replacement seat episode!!😂😂
They do look good, if you can get them not as wide. That will help your comfort, the height looks good for you, and you do have a slight bend in your elbows looks good.
Bike is turning out beautiful!! Your vision has shined (Literally lol). WELL DONE! You 2 inspired me to build my own Road King. Hopefully I get a great deal like YOU DID. Tuned in 🎥‼️
I put them hand covers on my bike. They also have the lights in them for the blinkers. They look so awesome.
Look anyone that instructs bike riding or has rode multiple bikes knows those bars are a little big and too far forward…but to each their own. Love you two and the channels
Tanya’s Roadking build has inspired me to build my 2007 Roadking CVO and i wanted to day thank you VPCUSTOMS your videos have been awesome and a help!!
That is awesome!
I could see her letting it get outta control a little, and then she'll be all done ✔️ because that bike is too big for her. If you can't pick it up by yourself, it's definitely way too big..
Lol at what point do I not pick up my bike by myself?! You must be watching something different 🤣🤣
Also, next weeks video is just for you! 😏
The Road Queen is looking Awesome! Good job you two. Maybe add some sort of chrome air cleaner.
Been looking forward to white grips since the beginning. Bars are great. Perfect finishing touch.
Thank you!
OMG!! That build is incredible. I cant wait to see Tanya taking it for a ride. How much you want for it? Just kidding. Nice Ride!!!
Stay tuned for next weeks video!! First ride comin in hot!
Pretty interesting looking bike. Can’t wait to see how you top this one on your next build.
Thank you!
First, thank you for the Koozie Award! The Road Queen is looking very regal with all her jewelry and bling; I like that you've embraced your Inner Chrome. With regard to the Derby cover, I think the challenge is that you're looking for recessed black with chrome on the main level. That means that makers would need something that started as black powder, then chromed so the engraving would reveal the black. It's very challenging with mixed material since the chroming process usually starts with bare metal, copper and nickel plating before the chrome is applied. Today's TWSS Rating is 2: I felt like I needed to avoid the high-hanging curve ball, and just leave this one: "I get to hold the flashlight." Ride safe friends!
You're not wrong! We may just have to get a chrome one and paint the inside out self! We'll get that coozie out to you soon!!
They also make a chrome crown oil dipstick
😲😲
Yes, I am happy that you picked the white and chrome grips.
Its been fun watching the progress of your Road King. I love everything you've done to it. Your personality oozes from this bike. Just as it should. Harley owners are notorious for personalizing their bikes. what's right for one may not be right for another. I appreciate the personalization of peoples Harley. I like yours so much I went and bought a 2004 Road King. My personality will shine through my Road King just as it does with my Fat Boy. Peace out and be safe.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate it!
You guys killed it!! Tanya's bike is beautiful and that color on the chrome... Eric your bike is killer too lol. You guys totally rock!!!
Dont know about the bars rolling forward would have to see it in person. The blue with the white seat and grip with the chrome, bike looks fantastic. Videos and photos sometimes just dont do things justice. Like Nigera Falls. Nice touch with the Indian Larry derby cover.
Thanks!
Very nice bike ! You did a great job with it !
Man thats a well done and classy lookin rig.
Love the bike. Those hand guards look bad ass, and nicely priced.
Also Paul cox shop is now in port jervis
things like handlebars and exhausts are a subjective thing, i do not like loud exhausts and high handlebars but i am not riding your bike if you like it then it is perfect for you. I say ride what you want the way you want
🙌🏼🤘🏼😁
I bet those mirrors can be more spikey.
Looks good, Guys!
The bike is bad ass. Love the bars and the pipes.
Good to see John T. in the cameos ! Still waiting for the next J.E.T. film to come out. The bike was not "aired up," so I think that full lock turn might surprise you. You'll be ok, but you'll rethink the angle on those bars.
Great to see this beautiful Road Queen in all it's glory! Keep the handle bars up ! Congrats both of you! Best regards.
Thank you! Will do!
that is one of the prettiest ones i have ever seen absolutly flawless !!!!!!!! that bike is pretty too !!! ha ha ha
The bars on the bike really turns heads. Looks fantastic 👍👍
What a beautiful little woman ❤❤❤, the king turned out fantastic.
Glad ya brought them in a lil. No matter if ya bring them in a lil more do not change those bars or anything that bike rocks
Wow! That bike looks over the top.❤. Love everything about it. Oh and Tanya I hope your finger is feeling better 😂😂😂.
That queen is looking good. Hope you get many miles this summer with her.
🤘🏼🙌🏼
John is a madman with his builds. Love his style and process in build and video production
Tanya the bike and the handlebars look great. I learned that opinions are like a-holes. Everyone has one. I went through the same thing with my bike. I bought a 2013 Ultra Classic. I got it in June 2022. I got it for me and my wife to ride. Well in December 24 2021 she passed away from health issues. That following Spring I tore it down and custom it how I knew my wife and I wanted. Thirty eight thousand dollars later it looks beautiful in my eyes. Just remember your doing this Road Queen the way you wanted and love it. Don't worry about others telling what you need or do to your beautiful bike. Keep up the great job. And just do it your way!
Thank you so much!! Appreciate the kind words. Sorry to hear about your late wife. Our condolences to you and your family. 🙏🏻
Your bike your bars :::: looks great
Your “handlebars” grow on you❤
Lookin Good. Take it for a ride to Kathys House an Twist that new white grip for her. Peace
Love your guys videos!! Been watching since the beginning of the road glide build. I just bought my first Harley this week. Picked up a 2010 street glide and currently have it torn down in the garage and starting the rebuild. I’m using your guys videos as inspiration. Thanks for all your hard work and for providing us with these videos!
That is awesome! Glad we can be inspirations, that’s what it’s all about! 🤘🏼 good luck with your build! 😎
I have those same grips but in Black and chrome. They are anti vibration. That way your fingers won't go numb when riding long distance
Hey Tanya your bike looks awesome and just ignore all the "Static" its your bike your build ❤
Those grips tie in perfectly!!😍
If you'll take opinions good or bad heres mine lol
Like everything but the exhaust. Definitely like the bars !
Just when you think it’s done ,boom. What a find with the grips. Long live the queen!
You guys can be naughty at times. Your Indian Larry points cover gave me the idea to get a cover shipped to Australia for my 2012 Electra Glide so wish me luck on making that happen. You guys are the best so don't change a thing, Kind Regards Andrew from Oz.
you all crack me up!! also shout out to J.E.T. films and uncle bogator!! I have a forward lean on my handlebars for that stretch and cause it's cool. gonna get me one of those Indian Larry covers!
Hahah it was cool of them to help out with the video! Tell Indian Larry we sent you, the guys over there are top notch!
Great job guys
FYI the gas cap looks cool but pay close attention because it is made of metal and the I had started scraping paint and the last thing you want is paint flakes in gas tank.
Meant to say the one that I had, sorry for the incorrect words
Too much fun in the driveway - make the very best of Summer 2024
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Beautiful classic look to her bike looks as good as an Icon Series!
Blazing Saddles... - too funny. 🤣🤣 - Nope reflections is even better.👍🏼 (Bogator endorsement - how much did that cost 🙄)
Great project guys! Bike is amazing 👏! Keep the good stuff coming and ride safe! That means you Tanya😂
Yes! Thank you!
Ride it and decide if you like the feel
Running 16s on my roadking
Check out the link below for derby cover
Beautiful bike!
I was so worried you coudl not hold the solo cup with the finger LOL.
🤣
Hell yeah lookin sweet. Parking lot cone warriors lol
🤣🤣 oh yeah, those guys
Your handlebars are great and the overall look of the bike is badass. You two are fun to watch. I do think you need to remove the Roadking logo on the fenders, replacing them with RoadGodess logo.
Haha thank you! Not sure if you caught it but we have "Road Queen" on there
What an awesome job you guys did on this bike!
Appreciate that! 🙌🏼😁
great video like always , all I can figure is the mudflaps on the handlebars must be up north deal in the south we don’t use mudflaps
Great little touches to an already beautiful build. Haters are always gona hate that’s what they do it’s ur bike u build it how u want as long as u like it that’s all that matters
🤘🏼🙌🏼😁
Absolutely STUNNING...and probably only marginally legal!!!! LOL
The only thing I would do is pull the handle bars down a little so you don’t have to lean forward to reach them. I have la choppers meat hook apes on my king but for 16 inch bars they are not high enough for me.I think your back will feel better riding with your back straight or slightly leaned back
Put some orange flags on your pipes like they put on the big wheels 😅
Wow this bike is looking so good. I'm confused though. I thought you guys did not like chrome?
Gas cap is the cherry on top. Perfection.
Looks good!
