Talking I bought it

So I went back to the dealer and got them to lower my interest rate. I signed on the dotted line and snagged my 1st Harley, a 2007 RKC with 16,800 miles in Black Cherry (not my 1st bike, been riding for 14 years).

Apes
true duel VH pipes
Stage 1
Chrome forks
All kinds of Chrome frame and eng pieces
SS braided lines
quick release pass back rest with luggage rack
Shift rod
mirrors
eng/bag guards

Im sure there are a few other items that I'm just not noticing. I love the way this bike rides but I need to get used to the way it handles in slow speed...Im not used to the apes yet.

What do you guys think???

Congrats!!!!!!! Awesome choice!!!! You got some kuryakyn engine chrome and neck covers too.... Looks like the guy dumped some $$$ into it!!!

Very very nice!!! I think you'll like those apes. They aren't too extram, I bet in 4 rides you'll love 'em!

And you can pull the apes back a little to change angle/hight/pullback, etc to find the sweet spot

I already like the apes...I just need some low speed parking lot time with them. I'm just glad I found a sexy bike with lots of mods I like. Most of the time I mod the crap out of my bikes then lose the money when I decide I want another bike. This time I get to be the one on the receiving end of a good deal, lol.
