Kraus KR8 Front End Upgrade for Harley Road King turns Road Glide


2 minute read

Road King turns Road Glide style - this Turbo Road King was back in the shop for some front end upgrades. The highly sought after Kraus KR8 kit was on the list of upgrades while it was up on the lift. 

The Kraus KR8 Inverted front end, while carrying a heavy price tag, is designed specifically for riders who want the ultimate in performance from their front end suspension. This kit includes Ohlins inverted front forks, KR8 triple trees , Kraus radial brake mounts, and KR8 fork guards to protect the fork seals. With this kit you have the option to customize both the look and riding position since it is compatible with the Kraus Isolated Riser system. If you are building a performance Bagger this kit should definitely be on your list of upgrades. 

Once the kit was installed on the front end, we paired it with a OE Harley Road Glide fairing. This Turbo kit is pushing 200+HP and the front calipers were also ready for an upgrade. If you go fast, you need to stop faster. We added a set of Brembo M4 calipers front and rear to give this bike some stopping power. 

We completed the look of this bike with a set of LP6 Baja lights (One Clear / One Amber) and A10 Moto S1 Amber Turn Signals. We added several custom features to this bike, one of which was a shift light. It is programmed to turn red once the motor is pushing 6000 rpm - you know its time to shift. 

We love seeing these builds go through phases of completion. It gives riders the opportunity to experience different setups and see how components change the look and feel each time. Overall we are thrilled with how this bike turned out and as always appreciate our customers for trusting us to work on their bikes.
