Doug Ide’s ‘Rising Sun’ Harley® Road King Wins Mod Harley Class at Long Beach IMS
- Dec 6, 2017
For the second year in a row, K&N is sponsoring three classes of the J&P show which is a centerpiece of the Progressive International Motorcycle Show (IMS). The Long Beach, California, staging of the IMS featured some of the most innovative customs we’ve seen.
Let’s start with the Road King’s most noticeable element, all of that Candy Apple Red paint is marbleized into a deep, and truly awe-inspiring coating. That paint flows from the custom headlight nacelle that is reminiscent of an aircraft engine nose, all the way through the sweeping, stylized hard bags shaped like a sheet blowing off a concealed treasure. Those saddlebags feature very cool sliding lids.
The big V-twin breathes through a K&N filter. Interestingly, rather than a highly-chromed exhaust, spent gasses exit through a subtle, industrial-themed header which continues the aircraft motif from the headlight. K&N is proud to sponsor J&P Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show classes that shine the spotlight on fantastic builds like Ide Innovations’ Rising Sun. Doug Ide walked away from the show with a $750 check and $500 in K&N product credit for future builds.
