No problem, another nice touch I have seen is to have the plastic battery cover treated with some vinyl cover,looks pretty slick. Here's a couple pics I gathered.

Definitely. That'll be a wintertime project. It's completely worth tackling, because the stock plastic tray looks like an afterthought, and out of place on an otherwise nice bike.

Default 2011 FLHRC Road King Classic

I've had my 2011 RKC for 6 months now and added a bunch of mods, finally have the look I want for the most part. Of course there is always more to add, but here's a few pics of what I have so far. Without listing part numbers, here's a quick summary:
HD Fat Handlebars, chrome handlebar accessores, Diamondback cables, gear shift linkage, Screamin' Eagle exhaust pipes with HD fistails, flush mount gas cap and gauge, chrome head bolt covers and some other minor additons...

Why?
I just found out myself you need to have been a forum member for at least five days and have at least five new forum posts before you can view photos.
