I have an 09 RK, same color as yours. Im envious of your bike, you have a lot of the things I want for mine.
What did you march for on Amazon to find those stainless switches if you don't mind me asking.

I got the switches off of amazon, they are really good. Stainless.
I had a bunch of pieces (45) powder coated over the winter. My objective was not to black out the whole bike; but rather reduce the amount of chrome that needs polishing. Now it is more of a wash and ride bike. Working on a mod to replace the mufflers with similar look, only with chrome slant cut tips.
Looks sharp. I'm sure you thought of this, but your forks would look really great powdercoated as well. How's the factory finish holding up? My forks become corroded and looked like crap after just 5 years and less than 10K miles (garage queen too!) so I had them chromed.

Lower legs are a clear powder coat; like I said I'm getting away from the time required to polish chrome, because I would rather ride than polish. I put on 1K the first week I had it and another 4K before the snow arrived. I've already put on 1500 this year and hope to get 10K this season, weather dependent (so not a garage queen).

Oh man, that thing is beautiful! Nice work. (and I like the contrast of black and silver. Good balance.)
