Is that rift hand shock upside down in that video?
Now that you mention it, yea it looks like it is. I think I have read before where HD did do that on purpose. I need to look when I get a chance and confirm.
Thinking about taking on the task of installing 12" bars. Doesn't seem too bad after watching several youtube videos. And plus the labor cost for shops is outrageous

do it...im thinking of tackling this mod either late winter or early spring when I do the forks.
It was not that difficult. You can do it!..Go Furit!! I did my RGS 2017 first time. followed videos really helped. I would do it again but dealer offered to throw in install on new 2018.
Really liking the sound of them, the video doesn't due them justice though
I been looking at these in black for the new 18 FLTRXS. Did you notice any lack of torque after install? are you still happy with them?
I had just bought new chrome RCx 4.5 slip ons for the 17 and there was a noticeable decline in torque. To bad cuz I really liked there deep throaty sound and looks. Sold them.
I am really liking them, haven't noticed a decline in torque. Had couple guys riding beside and behind me that said they sounded really good. So hopefully with more miles they will sound a bit louder like I want. I have been used to V&H Big Radius 2 on my 07 Glide which was really loud.

I absolutely loved the Road King Special when it came out but still wanted a fairing. When H-D came out with the 18 models and I saw the Specials I was floored. I love the SGS and the RGS and would have been happy with either but ended up with a SGS. I had a new black 09 SG and a new black 14 SGS and one more twin cam that were all great motorcycle. This M8 SGS has really stepped up the game some despite some problems that owners are having.
Here's mine - have added the Heavy Breather and the High Flow exhaust along with the Stage 3 and the SE Tuner and Smart Tune module. I have the curved license place to install as soon as my registration is switched to my old plate. Also have the black docking hardware and found a new style cover for it that covers the little bit of chrome on it and my chrome sissy bar is being blackened now. Have my 6.5 Klock on, black highway pegs and axle covers. Need to get the black Daymaker headlight, black shifter rod and found a custom black replacement saddle bag latch. Have 1100 miles on the motorcycle and 300 on the Stage 3. Loving it.
