Hi Guys and Girls from Australia.
New to Forum but have been checking it out for a while as the RKS was getting sorted.
Couple of picks of my 17 RKS.
Thought i would break the black up with a bit of the Harley Orange.
Great bike to ride and the 114 S4 Kit makes these things really boogie.

I hope they don't either, but I can change the halo to any color including white from my phone really quickly. One interesting this about the halo is that my wife said you really can't see it while I was following her until I got really close. She could see it then and at stoplights or signs.

This is all I have of rear view atm.
Has a bit of a bat wing vibe going on with out the duals, which I dont really mind.
Probably will change to extended bags without cutouts later on.
Pipe sounds great - like a big block coming down the road, real deep tone and not raspy like some 2 into 1s ive heard

Just use a plastic edged tool. The "Road King" plate pops right off.

Mini-apes for the RKS?
Great thread about an awesomely good looking, functional, powerhouse of a bike! My wife is selling her Street Bob today and will be laying down her (and some of the bank's) money on one of these.
I've been trying to work my way through the thread to find some posts about changing out the handlebars, specifically something in the 10 to 12 inch mini-ape range. She wants them a little higher, a little tighter in terms of width, with a little more pull back. Anyone gone with 10's or 12's... and pics, if you have? Also wondering what the rise is on the stock RK Special bars. Thanks guys.

Is that a small switch on the left handle bar that controls for the passing/driving lamps?
