Very close, I guess I'm thinking more on the lines of comepletly replacing the RK fender and tail light/ signal assemblies with the same SG assemblies. I like the SG look from the rear alot (or the RG custom for that matter) but after test riding the RK with and w/o the wind shield I like the view, wind protection choices, looks, lack of radio, lack of guages, all for the sake of simplicity and a minimalistic non distracting ride that takes me back to my youth(?). I rode my 1971 Triumph 650 Tiger to Daytona from Syracuse NY in 1975 during hurricane season with the whole east coast underwater. I had to be at AMI for fall classes. I haven't been without a fairing since 1988 so it's an RK for me. I like to tinker with my bikes and make them my own, as so many of you do. Just a thought I had about a "street king". By the way- thanks for hanging in and responding to my original start of this thread. I've been lurking on and off here for years, and lurking amongst HDs and HD riders for decades. Thanks again go to Green MT. HD for helping me solve my fit issues. John

That's what I was talking about - Great great job and nice and diff look

I think that Jag1886 has the look we are looking for JMO. I ride with a bud that has a 09RGSE that has only thefender filler lights - they are a bit difficult to see sometimes. Glad we could straighten things out to your satisfaction - Tom

Default Aviator...

...what's your problem, Bro?

A guy comes on here to post and you jump all over his **** about number of posts and he doesn't have a bike yet? Then when the guy even opens his mouth to respond you tell him not to get his panties in a bunch, like he's a *** or something? Did this dude do something to you years ago? If so, then he's got whatever's comin' to him, but if not, you're a bully.

You post with military commendations under your avatar. With those accomplishments I expect you to conduct yourself with a modicum of decorum.

I don't know you or the OP. Normally I wouldn't get involved in something like this that doesn't directly concern me, but your commentary's insulting and unwarranted...egregious behavior from someone as decorated as you, and it pisses me off.

Wanna take a shot at me now? Go for it, Bro.

Aviator has been sniffin the clouds a bit much, me thinks...

But other than that, I too like the clean look of SG. I've said it many times in the past year, that I am going with bolt on changes to suit my mood(s). And I got the idea long before I joined HDF, so speaking for myself it was my own idea...

RK Convertable is how I roll!

I thought about the SG look on my 09 EGS.

Then I decided that I bought the EGS for a reason, if I wanted it to look like a SG then I should have bought the SG.
