swapped it out for an Ultimate Seats and it is great, and I am now looking to try a Lucky Dave for both style and comfort but it doesn't have the back support the Ultimate comes with

good luck, maybe you can demo one somewhere
I had a Mustang Wide Touring solo on my Fatboy and loved it, and the passenger was very good that even my wife liked too.
I believe I should have good luck with the same brand as long I keep the same general shape of the seat, at this time I might get with the driver backrest too.
But I'm curious about other brands... I'll check this Ultimate.

That headlight was on my Fatboy and I loved there. I would easily buy again if was the case. Maybe an adaptive version or even the HD adaptive, but is hard to pay $800+, JW Speaker have great quality and good prices.
I definitely never would use a knockout generic china brand for it (like the sunpies).

After you go LED you will never go back.
I did a around the block ride with my new bike stock and was terrible. I don't know how anyone can ride at night with the stock headlights...

Default Installing stage 3 kit, 12" bars, heated grips

I love this RK Special.

I stopped at the dealer today to drop off my RCX header pipe and 13" HD shocks. I've had a lot of bikes and really have the bug to make this one mime and a beast!

Alright. I read through this entire thread. And I lost myself somewhere. But any idea where you saw someone switch out their switch?? I have a 17 and can figure out why they would put a chrome switch on a black bike.

Because they had them already, by the thousands I bet. Black would look better for sure, but then there is the bezel around the speedo too. A little chrome does add some contrast though.

Yea. They have the black dash online. I can't find any switch that would work for the RKS.

Will a speedometer cluster from say a Softail Heritage work on our RKS's?
