Thanks mj, I appreciate the compliment. Zephyr Blue is my favorite HD color ever! I love the blurple (as I call it) and own an Apex Blue Pearl Acura as proof.

Hey guys. Changing my bars from apes to moto bars and riser. Also eliminating the passing lamps, so I need new turn signals. Does anyone have these directionals from hogworkz WITH a road warrior fairing? Wondering if they are still visible or if I should go another route.

Also, you guys with t-bars/mx bars, where did you mount your turn signals?

Smile RKS Fork Turn Signals

Responding to jlb2782 post..

I looked at the Hogworkz Fork LED Blades. but ended up going with the Custom Dynamics ProBeam Dynamic Strips (also fork mounted).. Although VERY bright, I feel neither the Custom Dynamics or the Hogworkz are good at visibility from the side of the bike going through an intersection at night. My solution was to strip off the fork reflectors and add the Custom Dynamics run/turn Auxiliary LED Fork Lightz. All look awesome on my 2021 Vivid Black RKS. Links are below.

Upper fork lights / turn signal relocation. https://www.customdynamics.com/probe...e-turn-signals

Lower fork reflector replacement.. https://www.customdynamics.com/led-f...harley-touring

Good Luck!

Thanks man. Appreciate the insight. I’ll definitely look into those for signals. Do you by chance have a road warrior fairing? Really wondering if that fairing covers these up too much.

Sorry jlb2782 I do not have a Road Warrior Faring or use a windscreen. Not knocking on anyone who has one. Just not my cup of tea, prefer to see the entire road and wind in my face. The main thing is, do what you think is good for you, and make the RKS your own. I'm having a blast throwing money at modifying my RKS and she looks purrrrty. IMHO

Sunday, I got the bike out for our inaugural first ride of the season. It’s good to get back on two wheels.

I feel your pain Bob. I lived ten years in northern Wisconsin. I know the frustration of it being April and still the roads are covered solid with ice and even when that melts, it’s piles of salt and sand everywhere. Yuck.

Default This just in...

Saw a Sik-Baggers Y'tube fitting an Advanblack stretched tank on a Road Glide. Site says won't fit my '21 RKS because no holes for fuel fill and fuel gauge. Ordered one anyway from my HD dealer, Ronnie's in Pittsfield, Mass. A TRUE helpful dealership, not a stealership. I've heard the horror stories of other places. Figured I'd cut my own damn holes. If I made a mistake, I'm out $400. and I'll try again. With sealed package in hand, Chris at parts counter said an email come in that Advanblack now sells them predrilled. Sent this one back waiting anxiously for the new order (even comes ready in the color of your RKS). Wanted to share with the RKS family.
