Default RKClassic Mods

OK, I finally took my '07 RK Classic for a ride this weekend and just about fried my eggs! I'm a bit vertically challenged (5'7 w/boots) and when I bought the bike I thought just putting the RK Custom shocks would be enough. Well it ain't. So, I'm think about doing a few things: for heat - SE A/C. Rhinehart tru-duals. Tuner? Dyno. for reducing heightand that leaning forward look - RK Hi-Handlebars and the Sundowner Touring bucket seat but I'm still open for comments.

I recently had V&H Ovals, SE a/c, and SERT installed, and the bike runs much cooler. I just bought the Sundowner, but have not been on a long ride yet.....

I've been reading a lot about Harleys SERT. Since my bike is only a few months old, would it be wise to wait until the warranty is up before I go with their tuner or should I forget about the warranty and just do it? It sounds like the warranty is void if you do go with it.

Hey Dog,

Get a hold of Mean City Cycles(one of the Forum Sponsers) and let them rework your seat. They can lower it move it forward or back and make it more comfy. Just a thought.

I also have 07 FLHRC and couldn't take the heat anymore. Called FuelMoto and, for $420, added PCIII and K&N AC. Kept stock exhaust. Best upgrade you'll ever do. Cooler, yes, but runs like a new bike. --- I've since added SE pipes. I like 'em but...it's the PCIII and AC that made all the difference. Easy to install. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

I'd put money on "it's just the PC that makes the difference" in heat.
