You can get em in 12" like slammed stock or 13" for higher look. Google em. There's a ton of info & photos

Yes, you can get the Revo A's in 12" but I had the 13"s I took off on the trade in for my RKS.

I guess it does make it look a little higher. Gives it more of the stance of a standard RK. I don't mind the extra height anyways since my crossover scrapes a little on left hand turns. The extra height will give me more clearance. I was wondering how high I should go. I'm looking at the RWD's and I think they come in 13, 13.5, or 14. I think 14 might ruin the look too much and I don't think I'll need THAT much extra travel.

I’m gonna do 12” shocks. Sometime next week when I take her in for tire change. Got the seat redone today at Myrtle Beach (it’s a fall bike week down here).

Black Head Bolt Caps

I’m new to the forum. I have a 2017 RK Special and having a hell of a time finding black head bolt caps that fit. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried Ciro? I haven't purchased them yet but I've heard good things about their fit.

What auxiliary lamp kit is it and should it fit 2017 RK Special? I’m having a challenge locating one that fits. Much thanks.

Every online store I’ve visited notes that the Ciro bolt caps won’t fit my year/model. So, not sure what would actually fit. Not sure why plastic caps are so pricey too. Thanks.
