Content is good. Song sucks.

Chopped rear fender and rear bag chop just past the bag brackets looks great

Nice wheelies. You can see him articulating the rear brake well on this vid

Don't know how I didn't see this thread before. Picked up this 18 RKS in November. Work in progress but coming from a performance-oriented dyna, that's definitely the direction I'm headed in...

So far I've done 14" Lucky Dave's San Diego bars, the LePera Kickflip seat, LED lighting all the way around. Bought it used already set up with the 114" with head work and cams, supposedly. No paperwork to support it but it certainly doesn't feel stock...

Next up once I sell my TSport will be a proper 2-1 pipe and suspension. Gotta say being a bigger guy this is a much better fit than the dynas for me and even with the garbage stock suspension handles surprisingly well...

Dynakid. Nice on the cross over to bagger platform. Im a big guy too so even though i loved the dynas i had, i always felt giant. Touring bikes fit much better

Looking forward to seeing what you do with your rks.

Your dyna turned out well

Still sanding mine...didn't realize how many pieces there are to paint on a RG! lol
Like my last RG in here, and my FXDX, it won't be anything crazy like some of these bikes, just a simple rider with some cool paint.
2-1 pipe, some form of tbars, step up seat, small front fender, suspension, and ride it!

Was really close to adding those for extra real estate for paint.... but read a lot of problems about the fitment and brake lever clearance. Also hesitant to give BBC my money but thats another topic.
