I like the badging rather then another off the shelf hunk of chrome.

Just read your sig. Almost finished installing 57's . Waiting for a part to be delivered.

I dig it! I had a guy tell me my bike was the ugliest bike he ever saw. My reply was simple but you noticed it didn't you? I really like the Black exhaust I'm having Black Rinehart Slimeline exhaust installed Wednesday.

I agree. And the 57s were a great improvement over stock cams and the drivability stayed the same.

Right. I usually get "who painted your bike", "that's a wild color I've never seen" or "man that looks like baby ****" hahahaha but it always draws attention nonetheless.

This color has always been a favorite of mine from the day I first saw it. Love/hate for sure, but when you see it in person, in the sun, it's an awesome color. And yeah, not many people realize it's a factory color!

Here's my 2011 RKC the day I brought it home:



I've got a thread floating around (for those who haven't seen it yet) with the makeover it's receiving.

And yeah, I wasn't a fan of the tank decals either. I'm going for more of a classic kinda look with a little nostalgia tossed in.

Since I was adding the CVO extended bags and having some other paint chips fixed up, I figured I should have the tank badges removed too. I'm happy with the results.

I like it. Lots of people hate green bikes in general, but I like it! Different.

Saw one. Wanted it. Looked for three months. Found this one at a Big Sky HD in Montana with 6500 miles on it (in the middle of winter). Made a great deal on it. I get nothing but compliments on it.

Walked out of a coffee shop in the Sierra Foothills with my girlfriend one morning and found six Vagos standing around it checking it out. They liked because it matched their cut color.

I think it is a great looking bike. You did a very good job at making it stand out from the crowd.

Some recent pics. Still trying to decide if I want to black out everything or keep the engine and wheels chrome.
