I'm guessing you still have the same plate from your last ride.

Looks great, what's next?

Haven't seen many reviews on the NH slip ons, how are you liking those?

You might as well drop a good set of suspenders while you at it. Your bike is useless without good suspension. Best performance mods is a well set up suspension. Power means nothing of you can't handle it safely

my stock suspension on my 2017 RK is much more compliant, comfortable and improves the handling over my 2015 RK with Progressive upgrade. as a matter of fact with all the press about the new engine being headline news (and rightfully so), the suspension upgrade to me was every bit as equal of an improvement and I notice it every time I ride. was very pleasantly surprised and didn't expect to get a double whammy upgrade from my 2015

I agree. I feel the new suspension needs as much press as the engine. This is the first bike I did not replace the front suspension with in a week of purchase.
