Can't wait!
I finally pick up my 2010 RKC this Saturday. :icon_woot: I ordered it through overseas military sales in March while in Kyrgyzstan on my way to Afghanistan. Flame blue pearl. Still undecided on pipes, but leaning towards jackpot 2-1-2 with V&H Monster Ovals with a PCV. Input welcome.

WOW! - Awsome man. Gratz on the ride.
to H#LL with others, get what turns you on and have a blast. And - bless you for your service - we all owe you for allowing us to ride like the wind. ...gene |
Congrats. You're going to have a blast.
If you are like most of us RK owners, you will want to change out the stock handlebars. There are a LOT of threads here on the subject. I went with the Heritage style bars. |
G Man,
thank you for your service. I installed monster ovals on my 2010 RKC last night, only rode for 20 mins. to heat up and re torque. I left the cat as is for now, adding heavy breather and tuner in couple weeks, the pipes sound good, real deep, louder than stock but only a bit. |
Thanks
Ericl,
I have heard the monster ovals on other people's bikes, which is why I want them. I love that deep, throaty sound, but I don't want too much volume. I'm planning on burning some serious miles, and I have enough hearing problem as it is. I'll have to check out the heritage style bars too. I had some really wide beach bars on my fatboy, and liked them. Just moved from Hawaii, and that was a pretty popular style there, but I don't know if I want beach bars on my RKC. I am 5'8" with a 30" inseam, so I am considering some lowering options too. I have been lurking and watching other threads on the subject, and I think changing the rear shocks for street glide 12" shocks, and changing to a lower profile seat like the sundowner will give me the extra reach I need. Again, any suggestions are welcome. G-man |
I'm 5'11" with a 30" inseam. I would suggest you do the seat before the shocks. I have stock shocks and am running a Drag Specialties seat it puts me in the perfect height range. (not in picture)
and good choice on the bike and color.:icon_headbang: http://im1.shutterfly.com/media/47b9...D550/ry%3D400/ |
Dude, Toypuller... at 5' 11" with a 30" inseam you must have the longest upper body ever.
Love your bike. Hope mine looks as good. |
Congrats! Great choice!
1st, thanks for your service. It's beyond appreciated. 2nd, lower your seat first, Heritage bars (mid height), and check out www.fuelmotousa.com for exhaust (I would if I had a new '09 or '10 ride). 3rd, as far as break in goes, since it's cold up North, I would ship your bike to me in S. Florida. It will be a struggle, but I'll put some miles on it for you. Softly, of course!! :cool: |
