Got out and rolled some miles on the RKS over the weekend. What a great bike...I can take her on the interstate touring or just putt around on the country roads enjoying the sights.

Not a fan of the de-badge (I prefer mine on, to each his own), but great job on the "drunk beer"! Also, you forgot the fork & bag reflectors. And an FYI..you won't believe what a difference taking off that rear reflector over the license plate makes. I had mine removed and man!! It REALLY cleans up the back end!!

are you going to leave the tank like that or put something else on it?

I like the flag on the bag, real subtle but does add a little something. Is it just a decal I'm guessing?

Thanks! I did my best on having a beer after each step lol, that’s kind of a “must” when working on your Harley.

yes, I will be slowly removing some of the deflectors, need to get me more beer first 😁

planning to add custom made badges to the tank later. Gotta design them first though.

I'm planning to add some custom made (yet to be designed) badges later. The flag on the bag is a decal, you are correct.
