CONGRATS! on the new bike.. Now time to stock up on the MODS over winter
You read my mind. Before the bike rolls out of the shop, it'll be modified:

[ul][*] Handlebars that are easier to reach (anybody have the "reduced reach" bars for $50, p.458, part #56152-04?)[*] Sundowner seat for the RK Classic - Matching backrests - removeable sissy bar on rear[*] Possibly replace the stock saddlebag protector bars with tapered for passenger comfort[*] Screamin' eagle slip-on mufflers or V&H or....??? I'm planning on going to some bike shows in the spring to look & listen. I like the online sound clip of the V&H oval slip-ons--low and "lugging" sound--which may have to do with gearing and revs more than the actual muffler. Can't tell with sound clips anyway.[*] Stage 1 breather kit w/ remapping[*] Anti-theft with siren
[/ul]

In addition, "I'll be Chrome for Christmas" -- visor style light rings.

If anyone has any of this stuff, I'd like to know how you like it!

Tim

Great choice. I bought my RK Classic last April and it's been an incredible bike.

Thanks for the kind words, mcpastor. Yes, they are the Screamin' Eagle One-Piece Slash Down Performance Mufflers (SEIIs for Touring bikes). Part #64903-99.

Here's
a link for them with a discounted price. I love them.

The SE Slip-Ons are GREAT sounding pipes, but i decided to change out mine to the V&H Ovals because I REALLY love the look. I don't have the Ovals installed yet as i just ordered them over the weekend.

If you decide on the SE Slip-ons i don't think you will be dissapointed, UNLESS you want a loud obnoxious pipe which these aren't.



Here is a better price $255.96 Chicago Harley-Davidson
