RE: 1st up grades
The very first thing going on my new RK, before I take delivery, will be a Corbin Dual Tour saddle with backrest. After that???? When I was finally able to get a Corbin that fit my 1200R her "range" increased fourfold! Nuthing worse than a soft hardleeablezinn pain inflicting saddle to ruin the enjoyment of the bike, IMhO. DFO

I have a 05 RKC, too. I just did the Stage 1 kit, V&H true dual headers, and V&H classic slip-on mufflers (and a new remap, of course). It's like having a new bike. Loud, but not obnoxious, and crisp throttle response. The bike feels like it's lost about 100 lbs.

I know this sounds like the proverbial broken record. Pipes, hi flow aircleaner and a "download" to the efi brain will help a lot. Typical first upgrade!

First mods or upgrades for my '05 EG Standard will be pipes, stage 1 EFI and a remap... Now, to narrow down the choices for pipes...

RE: 1st up grades
Stage 1, if for no other reason than to get better sound than you have with stock pipes. The plus is, you get a little HP and Torque out of the deal.
