Wow dude, sounds like a really serious spill. Glad to hear you're healing up ok. I'm also glad you hopped right back on the bike. Life's short. You lived to ride another day, and now you have a monster 2019 RKS. Maybe a couple of broken body parts were worth it.
Ya, took a 90 degree turn too fast & went off the right side into a culvert filled with large sharp granite rocks. very lucky I wasn't killed, do not wear a helmet. But, it WAS actually worth it!!

Not a biggy, just wondering what I have to prepare for.
Thanks again for the help folks. That's what makes this place great...

Hope all are well and COVID free...
Well, thanks to the folks for the info on the bars. I did put the 14" on them with those nice grips. I did have to use the wire extensions, and the hydraulics worked, but that all they'll go.
I love'em, it feels like a different bike. Much more comfort on my shoulders....

Glad I put them on, I've been procrastinating for awhile, I wish I hadn't

Ya'll ride safe...

Default Visor Trim

I recently purchased a visor trim ring. I tried to put it on the other night but it seems like it's too small. I haven't sat down to really wrench on it yet but has anyone else run into this problem or any advice to give? It doesn't seem like it will just slide over top of the factory trim ring.

If you talking about this part then you need to remove stock trim ring in order to install a visor ring.
