Right! And I can add a removable tour pack if I want to on a SG.

Its also right that I have a few expenses coming up. Im gonna try to keep the bike for now and I might even keep it another year after that. I just know that I wanna go Street Glide eventually. Lookin at the Denim Black too, but seems everyone has black. Maybe a custom pain job with black and purple (Yes I know I'm running up my costs)

I'm considering the Heritage bars also, but haven't really investigated it much. Sounds like it's worthwhile. But if you're thinking about trading next year, why bother? You're not going to have more than a few more months of riding weather up here anyway.

You could always get a removeable batwing fairing like the Dragonfly. That's a good option for a RK, and would be much cheaper than buying a new bike. Sounds like you have a few extra expenses coming up!

(BTW, congrats!)
Thanks Ghosteh!

you're welcome.

And the RK will accept the removeable tour pack also, or you could go with the RKC's leather-covered tourpack. You might find a deal on a used one somewhere.

Found some bars I like I think....

On this video, (I dont like all the customizations so much just the bars)

Yaffe's beach bars I believe he says. 36.5 inches. No width is not what I want. I want something that will allow me to sit back slightly, so I can be more comfy.

Watcha' think?
