Here's a few pics of My RKC... It's pretty much done...well almost.
Truman, I gotta say... I don't believe you! It's NEVER done!

Aw, I'm just kiddin' around. You have an awesome looking bike. That is some great work you've done.

If you purchase the Arlen Ness air cleaner cover and have a late model bike running a 50mm throttle body you'll need to run a shim to move the cover out a bit, the new model Big Sucker designed for the larger throttle body has a slightly wider spread between the backing plate mounting bolts and if you don't shim it out the cover will hit the bolts.

In addition you'll need to apply some pieces of peel and stick dense foam an inch thick or so to either the filter or the cover to prevent it from resonating.

Thanks Primo...

The bars are the Wild 1 W0550...the 551 are for springer front ends.

Looks great. Pewter really is a stunning color on the RKC.
