I guess theres three of us RC plane nerds on this thread LOL! I am also a private pilot. There are very few similarities with RC and the real thing thats for sure. Nice Ride! Red looks good on that bike.

Me2! Got all the way to a commercial signoff. Been flying RC off and on (currently off) for almost 50 years.
I keep coming back to this thread to drool over that bike. It the only color that, to me, looks good with the blacked-out wheels and engine.
I used to build and fly electric RC helis for about ten years, in just about all sizes between 250 and 700. Then the drone hysteria set in and never bothered with the FAA registration crap. Now they'll soon want transponders. It's completely insane. Not gong to bother with all that, I already have a job and don't need another one.

They made some amendments to those rules so we're able to fly at club fields without any of that crap. Even in Cali the clubs aren't enforcing the registration stuff. If you're in Norcal and want to fly helis at a sweet private field, let me know. We have a great group, lots of motorcycle guys.
Congrats on the new bike!! Here are some pics of the 2019 I used to have (on a SG CVO now). The bars are 12" Paul Yaffee Monkey bars. I'm 5'9" and about 32" inseam. The bars are a game changer as far handling goes, night and day difference. The seat is stock with HD rider and passenger backrests. I had CFR slid-ons which were OK. Not very loud, no removable end caps and no way to change baffles. I also added Ciro 3D blinkers front and rear, I highly recommend. The fronts are white running lights and blink amber.
Installing the bars was pretty easy. I didn't have to extend any cables or wires. Just keep in mind I had a hydraulic clutch and you have a cable clutch. Fat Baggers makes a clutch extension that is really easy to install if you need some extra length.
Update:
Saddleman SDC gripper seat
CFR Slip ons
Burly Jason 12" T-bar
ODI Hartluck grips
HD Willie G Mirrors
Really happy with the bars. I wanted the Moto bar feel but I really didn't want to cut the nacelle or move the gauges. For $250 these bars are perfect.
