[QUOTE=OscarN;19568337]well, I got sober since then. I still like my bike especially it being paid off. Tried a suoxide choppers sissy bar that my friend has on his RG. Still not sure if I like it or not considering a price tag...

I don't blame you for not likening the looks of that sissy.
Seems as though one would feel the need to put on a pair of taller "pointy" bars and then maybe "pointy" engine & bag guards too.
Maybe spend your "hard earned" on powder coating the windshield bracket instead?

Default Kuryakyn Driving Lights for 2017 RKS?

I’m having a heck of a time finding the part that will fit. I’ve seen pics with some folks who had them mounted and understand that it requires a bit of work to get them on since there’s no exact match of the part to the 2017 RKS. Any idea if this one will fit? Any other considerations? Much thx





I’m looking for a part # that would fit my 2017

It's been a couple years now since I was researching the same, I think the answer is in this thread though, using HD parts and not the Kuryakyn. You might have to page by page through the thread. Maybe you've already done that, idk.

Good luck.

I think I posted my parts list.when I did mine. I’ll have a look. And it’s literally so easy a child could do it. No sense paying anyone, unless you are electrically challenged. The “hardest” part is crimping connectors. All the plugs are right there under the nacelle and no dealer involvement needed.

Edit: see post #1558 on this thread. HD kit 6800004 is what I used.

Great looking bike. But I don’t get the roll on the nacelle - when you have real saddlebags. Why risk scuffing up the finish of the nacelle?

thanks helps my back tons

i almost got the road sofa but my wife doesn’t ride with me so I didn’t want the big passenger seat .

SDC is a collaboration with a custom shop in San Diego , not sure how long they have been doing it I just noticed them a few months ago .

I think they were designed for stunt riders with the stepup and grippy materials .
