Looks really sharp. Are you running a heavy breather with your lowers and speaker pods? Tell me about your audio a little. I'd love to go back to a RK.

Has the RKS only got 12" shocks on it?

Still a lovely bike, though.

Looks like:


    I’d be interested in hearing more about it too. Specifically, how well it performs at highway speed.

    I’m about to add a sound system to mine and have been looking at the So Cal Cycle Sound Ultimate Road King setup:

    OR putting it together with:

      Here’s my RKS before I add speakers

      Picked up my RKS today Has docking hardware, and black flush fuel guage/gas cap. Going in tomorrow to order LED headlight, LED passing lamp kit, black crash bars rear, and maybe a USB charge port wired up to the front of the gas tank I think. Possibly pipes and a rider backrest. Any "driver" backrests that dont look horrible on these bikes?

      I posted what I plan to do with the audio setup, but didn’t share what I have done.

      I loved it From the start



      But I’ve changed a few things:




      Obviously, I painted it... twice actually. I didn’t love the color the first time so I did it again.<br/><br/>I also changed the seat to a mustang solo.<br/><br/>The exhaust is Vance & Hines headers and mufflers, with a thunder ax tuner. That’s overkill for the current setup, but I’m planning to put the stage 4 kit on this one like I did my last Road Glide. It will be fully leveraged then.<br/><br/>The bars are 16” Carlini’s



      I fixed up the light setup on the rear. I’ve done this same setup on my last three touring bikes.



      I cleaned up the lights on the front too.<br/><br/>If you look close this pic also shows that I painted the trim on top of the headlight assembly too.



      While we were painting it, I tried something new and painted the handlebar controls.



      I like the orange calipers and new front fender a lot too.
