if you’re asking me then yes, it is HD CVO shield. I’m 5’10” and it works ok. Stock windshield on my old RK offers better protection, this one is shorter and I still get head buffeting. If you play with the vent you can reduce it, but not much. Anyways, I decided that the look worth some comfort sacrifice.

Default My 2019 RKS


V&H power duals headers, SVT Boneshaker 4.5" slip ons, SE Extreme flow air cleaner, V&H FP3. So V&H has not realesed maps for the 2019 RKS on the FP3, so they told me to just autotune from the stock map. I'm not impressed with the results so far, I lost a good deal of torque after my exhaust upgrade, which is to be expected, after auto tune the bike doesn't idle smooth, it fluctuates a bit in rpm. And it is quieter after completing the auto tune. I Wanted my bike loud. I'm a bit frustrated. Any advice?

Maybe instead of insultingly insinuating that I dont know what I'm doing, you can either provide useful advice or shut your pie hole and go troll someone else post..

I don't know if you can remove the baffle but if you can you can remove the insulation or change the thickness. I took it out on my V&H and it sounded like a hollow tube so I changed the thickness.It is better now but still not that great, A cam may be in the future. I have an 18 RKS with a107 And a V&H tuner and RCX headers. My tune works great without auto-tune.

The fact that you're asking strangers on the internet for help would imply that his insinuations were correct and you in fact do not know what you are doing.

Sorry just, saw your post. Very close, it will look black if not under the right light or sun! Really nice color.
