Sneak Preview... Longest weekend ever. Finished the build and waiting to tune Monday. I cant believe the sound difference. Bone Shaking! I guess I will soon find out how many of my neighbors have car alarms.

Thanks to everyone on this thread - after reading through it all I bought a 2021 RKS Vivid Black last night. The bike is enroute from Washington (dealer trade) and they are estimating 30 days until my 131 crate motor arrives. We ordered the Zawicki Speed 2 into 1 shorty as well. Looking for advice on T-Bars. I'm going with a 1/4 fairing until i get the RWD FXRT fairing later. Anyone running T Bars? Any I should stay away from?

Blacking out those bolts really adds to the look of the bike.
Loving the Derby cover as well, and the chin spoiler.
You keep looking, and discovering new things. Great job.

I apologize if this has been talked about a million times, but I am trying to figure out if we can add pull back risers for our bikes. I have a '18 special and I am short with shorter arms.... even with the bars pulled back I still have trouble with a comfortable reach. I didn't really want to put bigger bars on it because I like the stock ones, but I just need that extra bit of pull back to get that comfortable spot. Anyone have any advice for this?
