RE: few changes to the RK Custom
Pastor John, Thanks........now I want the bags tips like you have........you guys sure cost me a bunch of $$$
It took me 2-3 hours to install the bags and the light bar. Mount the light bar assembly and then disassemble the headlight.
One screw for the headlight ring, 3 screws for the headlight, pull it out and lay on fender (protected by a towel). Find the connectors for existing turn signals and the one for the passing lamps and plug the new lights in, check and make sure they work and re-install the headlight in reverse order. I had to snip the end off of the old turn signal wires as it was too tight to pull out without removing moreof the nacelle, won't use them againso the time wasn'tworth it to me. Hope this helps.

Sims, How does the seat fit in relationship to your hardbags? When I bought my custom it came with the custom paint and I didn't like the way my seat hit the bags. I currently have a HD stripper seat but got real sore riding to Sturgislast year. I'm thinking about going with a Danny Gray seat this year. By the way that light kit looks good.

RE: few changes to the RK Custom
I'll look into that. I did have to adjust the brackets slightly when I did the bag swap. With the curve in the bag support, I'm not sure it will slide back any seems to be pretty much a one location set-up. Thanks for the thought......I'll look at it some more.
