Default RK Special inspiration wanted.

Hello all just bought my RK Special in Vivid black about a week ago. Looking to see some picture of other RK specials for some inspiration. Had a lot money into my Fatboy lo now looking to start over on this one.

So far I have ordered.

Hogwerks 7" LED/ harness
Screaming Eagle 10mm wires in orange
Headlight Visor in black of course
Harley-davidson motor co. Axel nut covers.


So please share your RK Specials so I can see the beauty that is the King

Nothing you listed so far will enhance your ride other than the lights? How about apes, seat, banana boards or at least highway pegs? Dress up stuff comes after the bike does right by you.

Cant really buy to much for it yet other then dress up stuff. It is 10 below zero here and we have a lot of snow so cannot ride it yet to see what I like and what I need to change for ride comfort. Also thanks for your valuable input as you suggested nothing.

Looks like nobodyknosme made four suggestions to me.

I couldn't imagine spending that much money just so you can look at it in your garage. God Bless Texas. I get to ride everyday. It was in the upper 70's on my ride home today.

nobodyknowsme is right, you're spending your money in the wrong order. Should be comfort first, then performance, then little dress up doo dads last. My suggestion is to leave your money in the bank and wait until you can ride it and see what you need to make it comfortable. If you need to buy something, buy cleaning equipment. All that black your going to spend more time cleaning it then riding it. Been there, done that, never again.

Enjoy your new bike.

Since the advice that you ride the bike a bit first got you so upset, google might be your best choice.

Just search “Road King special”, select the Images tab, and you’ll have scads of pictures to look at, without that irritating input from others.

Calm down everyone. I think the snow is getting to everyones mind. Including mine. Take a look at this thread:

https://www.hdforums.com/forum/milwa...al-thread.html

There are about 160 pages, but its worth it. So many pictures of things that have been done. Personally, I have a 17 RKS in Vivid Black as well. I intend on adding HogWorkz Halo LEDs with the matching passing lamps. Also looking to add some of the defiance collection as well.

Yeah don't need to copy a F**king thing was looking for real info like who has what seats and if they like them for long rides, perhaps maybe some suggestions on bars that are comfortable or maybe just F**king maybe suggestions on what to add for comfort, Yeah and the pictures I requested well shoot me for wanting to look at how different things look on this particular bike.... But I understand your a busy person, but maybe next time someone asks for some info instead of wasting time writing up what you did you could perhaps give real thoughts.
