Default My classic mods

I don't know how classic my RKC looks now, but you can see what I've done in the video below. I'd say installing a solo seat, removing the rear crash bars, taking the lic plate and setting it lower on the rear fender and installing hoods on my front lamps gives it a more classic look. As for the rest, well you'll have to be the judge of that

Default new to the harley brotherhood

just checking in with a shot of my 2008 rkc anniversary edition. This is my first bike at the tender age of 48. I'm loving what is being done to everyone's bikes, really like the old school look. I have a long way to go with mods and chrome, but I'm looking forward to every bit of it.

Just saw this thread and i am already starting to like fishtails. i want to add HD stock fishtails p/n 65100017 to my 07 SERK which has exhausts with P/N 65913-06A and 66080-06A. Would any of you happen to know anyone who makes a kit to retro fit both these together. Been searchng the internet high and low, but have been unable to find anyone. Dont want to change the mufflers as the bike is already tuned according to the exhaust and dont want to spend all the money changing the mufflers and getting it retuned.
Would appreciate any and all help

The bikes looking good! Here are two suggestions: 1) buy the V-Rail for the front fender to match up with the saddlebag guard rail. I've got one on my bike and they add a lot to the front. 2) Will you be riding solo alot? If so, pick up a HD Sundowner solo seat. The RKCs look great with solo seats.
