Picked up a '22 Road King Special a couple weeks ago and now looking at changing a couple things. Does anyone have any recommendations on braided black brake lines? I will be putting Factory 47 14" MALO bars on soon... I am also trying to find the mount that moves the handlebar turn signals to the front light shroud on the forks. Finally, does anyone know if someone is making brake lines for the front forks to get rid of the ridiculous slack causing the front brake lines to curve out away from the bike? I swear mine on both sides could be 3-4 inches shorter and still have slack for front suspension travel....

Congrats on the new cicle great choice! I'm sorry I am no help with the black brake lines but that's a great idea. I remember years ago a brake line company out of Germany that did custom lines. It was like Speigle or something like that. Good luck in your search.
I had posted a few weeks ago that I purchased a new RKS in Midnight Crimson. I guess this supply chain shortage affects everyone. I am still waiting on a few parts, but here are a couple of pictures of what I have so far. Road6 Customs 13 standard apes, moved the front turn signals from the handle bars to the forks along with the windshield mounting kit (I originally was going to use the bullet turn signals, but the kit with the backing plate for the windshield is back ordered until October. Instead I went with the Hogworkz front fork turn signals. They are much brighter in person). Upgraded speedometer with tach, headlight trim ring and flush mount gas cap and fuel gauge. I still have slip ons, solo seat, and low profile bag lights.

Very nice scoot, the solo seat looks awesome! The turn signals are trick it took me a moment to see them. Very slimline and a cool feature. You've done a great job so far. The RKS is the perfect bike to customize IMHO!

Thank you, sir. I will post more detailed pictures when I get everything installed. I am really pleased with how the seat turned out. It is a C&C Custom.
