Default Little help?

I'm trying to get my dad something shiny for his RK this Christmas.

Here is his RK...




I think chrome passenger boards would be a nice addition to his bike, and found these... I think they would be a nice fit with his gas tank emblem.


I realize that they are "inserts" so I also ordered these..


With what I ordered will they look like this?


Or what else would I need to get that look for him? I'm thinking I need to get some chrome boards too... I'm not sure and any help would be appreciated. part #'s would be nice too

I agree.... He'd love it!

That should get him that look and they would look sweet with the tank emblem.

i installed them on mine and they look great! another alternative is to get him the classic chrome fender skirt.

both of those pieces- how small the are- really make a nice difference.

That's exactly what my son got me for Christmas last year. They really make a difference. It's one of those things where people look at the bike and they know something looks different, but they can't put their finger on it right away. I feel it completes the package.

Yes, that area really needs the chrome to make the side view complete. Merry Christmas!

Ride safe,
