UOTE=xmen9c;20113842]My "new to me" 2012 RKC after some mods:
Carlini 1.5" gansters (16")
DNA EVO style wheels (21x3.5 - 16x5.5) black powder coated
Black Superspoke rotors
Stage 1 A/C w/HD Skull Cover
V&H True Dual headers and Shark Road 36" fishtails
Ciro Filler panel lights with RickRack Bracket
HD Dash Panel for 2017-up Road King Specials
eBay Ness knockoffs for rider and passenger boards
Arlen Ness RAD III Mirrors (chrome)
Thats about it for awhile. Have Advan Black bags on order in big blue pearl. Will have them two-toned vivid black and pin striped to match. CAMs over the winter and then ride/wash/repeat!
As purchased back in early July
today
[/QUOTE]
Advan black CVO Style bags arrived yesterday. Color is close but slightly darker but not enough for me to send back. This biks is 9 yrs old too so there may be some slight fading as well. In direct sun, they match pretty well. Also going to have local painter add pin striping and vivid black to bottoms of the bags as well.

Not a RKC, but like Whiskers mine's two-tone with a nostagic feel. More pics in my album.

RE: Turn a Classic into a classic
Sol and Whiskers,
Those are totally awesome bikes, I love the nostalgic look...
Whiskers, that's a Metzeler ME880 tire... I'mswitching to those from Dunlops on my Electra Glide. The Metzelers are an excellent tire and give great mileage. I got 17,000 miles on a rear tire withan ME880on a metric cruiserI have.

RE: Turn a Classic into a classic
Guys, thanks for the compliments.
Whiskers: If I remember right, the horn cover is part # 3600071 from J&P. Like Arizona spotted, the tires are ME880s
Neckball: Consideredwhite grips and seat, rejected mostly for cleanliness reasons.Still may getaround to some custom upholsteryto take the stripe up the back of the seat. Yes, those discontinued H-D P&A bags sure went a long way toward getting the look I wanted

RE: Turn a Classic into a classic
Maybe we could ask Terry and the other mods to create a site here for owners who've taken their newer bikes the nostalgic route? I've seen some awesome Springers, Deluxes and Heritages whose owners took them in this direction and its been fun looking at all of them. I've picked up ideas for my bike from some of the other ridershere on the forum.
Ride safe.
