Default Fatcats, DCC fairing ordered

Picked up my bike yesterday after putting the 103 upgrade, installing a new map into the Tmax auto tune, love the power after only 100 miles. Should have the 500 mile break in done this weekend, thenoff to thedyno to see what I have. Did the upgrade after renting the 08 UC a couple week ago, loved the music but not the ride vs my RKC, so I decide to either get a RG or upgrade everything on thr RK, motor to 103, fatcats , fairing for music, cams will be it, maby PP the heads. Checked in with the dealer and would have took a bath of $7k on the 07 RK for trade so going this route, will get a RG as next bike though, figuring 7 years at 15k miles pr year should wear out the RK. Any sggestions/advice on this path I chose, it is gettin expensive, I feel like a HD crack addict. Cam advice for the HD 103 is appreciated, loke the redshift but would like to stick with SE if there is one t match th 575.

Nice ride you got there. I just came off a RK to a 08 ultra. I have to say that in windy weather and/or with semi-trucks on the freeway, the RK handled better. I think part of it is all that weight on the forks and the fairing and tourpak acting like sails in the wind. You got the best of both worlds there. Shield, fairing or not. I bet the 103 with the fatcats will add lots of torque. Just think of the tax money you saved by not buying again. I'm like you the next one maybe a RG.but I may just convert mine to a fixed fairing someday. Sounds like you did good. Enjoy it
