I ran the 517s for ten years, then needed to straighten out my wrists. Using 10" Monkey Bars now.

I picked it up this am and put 150 miles on , rides great. I cant believe how nimble it is compared to my Fatboy.

I ordered the black front fork legs and cow bells, black Wild ones 518, a black engine guard and black saddlebag guards , bought the HD black mirrors. Hope to get everything installed by next weekend.

Im leaning towards a Fuel Moto stage 1 package with the header pipe and tuned mufflers , but Id really like to stay with a blacked out look and the V & H black pipes look real good to me . Any one out there using the V & H power duals and the hi output slip ons?

Also Id like to go with a programer instead of a PC this time what is everyone using the SE tuner, TTS or the Power Commander Power vision?


Thanks , I have a couple of pics now too.

Hey dspenser, how tall are you. I just ordered the 14" CB for my 2011 RGC and thinking I might want to go to the heritage bars too. I could use another 1 1/2" pullback. I am 6' 1 1/2". Thanks

I'm right at 6'2" (33 inseam) and the 14 inch Cee Glide hits me just right with the stock seat. As far as the heritage bars...you won't be disappointed. They give me plenty of options for adjusting just where I want them..very worthwhile at least for me.

Xaran, I went with the black out look on my RGC and got the black vance and hines power duals, SE race tuner, and kept the black SE slipons the dealer had on it when I bought it (Cash flow was getting hurt or I'd probably would have added the rineharts blacked out slipons).
Very happy with the set up, the power duals look very nice and the bike still has a nice low rumble but sounds good when you throttle up. Dealer got about 14% more hp and torque but don't remember the actual numbers right now. Lots of options obviously but happy with mine.
Hope this helps.

You should check out www.baggershield.com for a windshield option. They offer no tool, quick adjustable windshields for touring bikes. I originally had one on my 08 Streetglide and it worked great. I traded the SG in for a 2011 RG Ultra a few months ago and this was one one of the first things I put on it. It gives you the short look for most of your riding but you can adjust for more protection when needed. I'm currently running the 10.5"-17.5" model.

Welcome to the sharktank.
I have had http://www.clearviewshields.com/ on two bikes and so far so good.
I have the TTS on my present bike, it takes a lot of reading but once the light bulb comes on you can do a lot with it.
