Congrats and ride safe.
‘Thanks. I’ve been impressed with the treatment I’ve gotten so far with the sale. There’s nothing more fun than buying a new bike. It reminds of when I bought my 16 Limited in Las Vegas, Red Rock Harley. Total opposite experience of when I bought my 2018 Venture. Awesome bike but Yamaha dealer network is garbage. I’m going for the ESP because I don’t plan on any power mods. This bike runs plenty strong for me. Much better than the 103 on my 16. Maybe some slipons. Thinking about the Rinehart DBX45’s.

I did the Screaming' Eagle Street Cannon slip ons on my '19 RKS. Very happy with the performance, sound and look and it did not void any warranty. good luck with whatever you do and ENJOY THAT BEAUTIFUL BEAST!!!

Thanks. I did the Rinehart DBX45’s 4.5” slipons. Same thing, no warranty void and it performs and sounds great.
