Thanks Crossbow this protective film is pretty impressive from watching the videos.

I've never been to Savana on the bike. However, riding the super slabs around Atlanta is like riding in a debris field and sand blaster all at once.
One time I was riding home from work at around 12:30 AM, a vehicle kicked up something that hit the fairing with a loud thud. It left a black smear on the fairing. I think It was a piece of a tire and it polished out.
Does this stuff work on a polished set of forks?

Interesting question that you should probably talk to CruzArmor about.

I have a LePera Daddy Long Legs TALL seat on order which will move me back 2" and up 2". I know this will result in me reaching too far forward for the bars. Looking for a suggestion from other tall RK riders as to what bars they suggest for height and more pull back.
thanks

I am 6' 1" with my height coming mostly from the hips up. (I have an extra vertebrae, different story). I went with KST Kustoms adjustable bars to get more rise, pullback and narrowed grip width. There are so many set ups out there and hardly anywhere to test. If you are super lucky you may find someone close by, but it's a long shot. That is why I went with an adjustable set after deciding on how tall I wanted them. I couldn't be more happy.

one of my favorite mods is the flush black led fuel gauge /gas cap kit. ( $210) Totally looks like the RKS should come from factory

New to the group. Picked up a 2017 RKS Charcoal Denim in March. Came with S&S 2-1-2 head pipe and some slip ons. S&S intake and Thundermax ECU and LEDs I have since added Siouxicide Choppers engine guard and saddle bag guards. A knock off sissy bar, 18" Dominator bars. Looking to do more lighting, mirrors and floorboards soon

Looks really great! Love the color. Only thing I'd do is change to 1 1/2" KST handlebars...)

Think I'm about to jump up to a new 2024 25th anniversary CVO 121. Looked at one today in gloss black w/dark red accents & carbon fiber accents...fell in love! But it's about $46K!!??
