FINISH "For Now" RKC 07
I just bought my RKC 2007 in 2012 Summer. It was bone stock, the only thing that was on it was about 5,000 puny miles. which was good and bad. Good that I get to make the Mods i want. bad because its $$$.
First, swapped out to V&H True Duals with HO 4" Mufflers these are big. PC-V & Heavy Breather SE Intake
next, Carlini 13" Ganster Apes w/ Braided Cables. break/clutch lever and grips changed as well.
finally swapped out he fork sliders for chrome [great deal on ebay] Also put some Arlen Ness fork boots on that i think look cool
Finally item which I was concerned with was the 'all-in-one headlight. Turn signals are a LED rim around the headlight. Actually turned out really nice LEDs are bright as F--K.
last little thing is i'm going to replace the OEM mirrors for one that are blacked out.
this is probably minor to what some members can afford to do. but reached my budget limit for now.

Cheapest i found was $190 on ebay. since I was already replacing the fork sliders i figured i could to the 'cowbells' at the same time.

Worth $190 IMO, they look awesome!!!!!!! I was seeing prices $260+
Looks great. When I got home from having my lowers chromed, I noticed dents in both cowbells. The shop that did the work, Nitros in Baytown, offered to tare the front end back down, and put on new chrome cowbells, all 100% free.
That's awesome customer service, but too much work for 2 dented cowbells. Instead, he is buying me the kurikian ones that just bolt up over the stock ones with no disassembly. Seems more than fair to me.
