Default Just picked up my new bike

Had the screen and back rest added from new and a local dealer has recommended black daymakers and eliminator 400 as the first upgrades? Any thoughts?

As for first upgrades, I would look at motor work within the first 60 days since it would be covered under warranty (assuming it's a brand new bike).

Default Kuryakyn driving lights 5029

Got these on sale the other day but want to change to leds. The turns look like custom dynamics inserts will work and can I put in the amber/ white changing ones?

I've changed mine out for a JW Speaker LED headlight. Super expensive but throws a better and more uniform beam than the cheap Sunpie's you see on ebay or amazon.

I meant Auxillary lights not the Headlight. They are h3 bulbs.

Guess I should post up...traded in my 2016 Low Rider for this 2018 RKS last month. Came with the 114 with head work, cam (no paperwork on either but it definitely doesn't feel stock), intake, RC Components slip ons and a screamin eagle tuner. Since then I've added the 14" Lucky Dave's San Diego bars and capped the exhaust crossover. Have a windshield and LePera Kickflip seat on the way.

Attachment 617139

Future plans include finding someone in SoCal that wants to trade my stretched bags for their standard length bags, LED headlight with built in signals, taller shocks (evaluating options, suggestions welcome), RaceTech fork springs with a heavier oil, thunderheader 2-1.

No, but I need a close up of your 128 Derby. I have been looking for the right one
You work at FM?

No, but it was the first RKS that caught my eye and made me question my devotion to the Low Rider S.
