Why is a six-year-old thread undeserving of further discussion? Much useful information may have been previously provided. Why segment the discussion?

Same people that complain of a 6 year old thread, are the same ones that complain that you're starting a new thread, and that you didnt search the forums long enough for what you were looking for. Classic.

Mine was the wrap around fork led signal lights. They look great when stopped, or at night. But in the day time with a daymaker, they were impossible to see. I have learned that being seen is better than not. Shocking, right?? I will not be removing lights from my RKS and will probably be adding more.

My most regrettable mod was lowering my Heritage Classic so the OL could ride it. The damn thing rode worse than a freight train and handled like a brick. I raised it back to stock height and all is well. That was a very expensive experiment.

I agree - I like the look on my RKC as well, but I added them to keep my toes warmer.... they work great - I love this mode.

Saddlebag guard rails on my Road King Classic. Yes, they look very pretty. They also make getting into those leather bags a whole lot more difficult. I don't think they stayed on the whole day.

Not to be a negative thread, just one to stop us mod addicts from wasting $$$$$.
Thanks
yeah, I regret putting a PSI gauge on my Road King.....stupid.

Don't get your panties in a twist. Did I suggest no one respond and continue a six year old thread??

No. No I did not.

Carry on...
