any ideas on a replacement dash panel that looks nostalgic? i have an 07 stock one with a bunch of grooves and i've never liked it, ive seen a few out there but nothing i really liked.

Here is my 09 RKC--Has always been my favorite bike in the line. I sold my 01 RKC to take Hogtunes to the next level........An opportunity arose for us to do a project for a clip on fairing/windscreen company, so I went for it--had to have one in the barn to do our modeling

Will be doing my best to make it look old over time. I just put some supertrapp slipons with the fishtail ends on it that look nice but sound stock

I plan to put a solo seat on this one. Hope you guys can appreciate I work with bikes with radios all day long. I love my Ultra but I cannot just go for a ride cause Im always trying to break my products! Having a bike with no radio for me will let me FINALLY go for a ride

Nice bike, PEZ! Love the color. Every time I see an '09 I wonder why HD didn't carry the two-tone paint onto the side panels. And I have to believe that the panels from an Ultra (with two-tone) would fit on the RKC.

HD used to sell the Dashinator in all color schemes, They still have some inserts, but those Dashinators from the first years of the Twin-Cam series are getting hard to find. You maybe able to search the web.

they are iron bags (iron t model) VERY well made, thick leather with molded fiberglass back, they attach just like stock ones do. they hold alot more then stock ones do. wide enough to fit a 12 pack of becks in em. they show the back and inside on there website, I still have the bags, might sell em for 1/2 price, but I keep them for long trips when I want to carry more then the hd fiberglass ones. its easy to change the long streamers to black or whatever color you want http://www.ironbags.com/
