Default made the trade

went to the local HD dealer to see about some hard mount bags and saw an 06 RK police, black with 1441 miles....just couldn't resist...traded in my 05 fxsti..haggled a bit....got the RK for $12995...anyway I'm psyched...only thing is its got the single air ride seat...my question is, can anyone tell me how hard it is or what I would have to do to switch it to a regular RK seat...after doing that and putting on some good slipons I'll be set to cruise ( at least until the customizing bug starts to bite)

Congrats on the FLHPI; removing the seat and swapping it for a civilian seat is very easy. There are posts on this; try the search function. Basically, any pre-'08/post-'96 seat that will fit an RK Standard or Classic will fit you police RK

If you don't find it quickly, send me a PM and I'll explain it.
