Making My "Classic" More Classic w/ Pics
I've had my '09 FLHRC for about a month now and I love the bike but I can never leave well enough alone so I've already started monkeying with it. I got the Fuelmoto power package to get a little more performance than stock and the HD Brawler solo seat to get myself a better riding position than stock.
I'm also getting started on making the bike look a little more retro than it does from the factory. I added the 1963 style tank emblems and the round HD nostalgic aircleaner cover and the saddlebag guardrails. Small stuff I know... but I've only had the bike a month!
I plan on getting either the Klockwerks King Mentele or the Wild1 Dresser bars and chrome controls. I do like the performance of the Jackpot slip-ons but I think I'm going to switch them out for some fishtails or maybe a Samson Cannons system or the new V&H Big Shots. I'm also measuring and planning to fabricate a spring solo seat mount and fender mounted pillion pad.
Anyway, Here's a few pics of my progress so far. Comments and suggestions are welcome...

Ha ha! Thanks for catching my brainfart Cloud9. The seat is a BRAWLER not a Badlander. I edited my post to fix it. Too much cough syrup this morning I guess....

Looks great. It's amazing how a few small changes really changes the look. I am close to pulling the trigger on the same bike. I would put the same nostolgic air cleaner on (cant stand the football cover) and a solo seat. How does the new seat feel/change the riding postion.
