Looks great! Love the color. I also love that you opted for the BBQ pak instead of the traditional tour pak. #priorities #grillonthego #BBQglide

Twisted Cherry is the best color of RKS, not that I'm biased at all.....

Trying to figure out what tank emblems to put on.
I missed the "fresh from paint" part when I first saw your post and immediately began searching for a Grey King - that looks Great! Who painted it?

It runs great for a canned tune - looking forward to the tuners coming out for the 2021 models.

Thanks! It was done through the dealer so I'm sure it was someone who is proficient at painting Harley's!

Any suggestions for tank emblems? I don't love the 2021 Bar and Shield. I was thinking using the 2018-2020 narrow name plates instead

Ironically I have a set of the stock tank emblems that I removed from my 2018 Street Glide Special that I replaced with the bar and shield (see my signature pic). If you're interested in them send me a private message if you are able. Not sure what your post count has to be for sending pm's.
