Love the colors.....and if it that bright on a cloudy you'd need a welding hood on a sunny day.

I've seen one other bike like yours (in Denver) and I thought at the time that it was an awesome color!! My 2002 was Blue/Silver when I bought it and my memory of that first yellow bike served as the inspiration to get rid of the Silver and add Birch White to tank and fenders.

Very timely post, I'm trying to decide between V&H monster round slip ons or the V&H fishtail slip ons.

Those look great, are you happy with the sound? How's it run? Any tuning?

I've had them on my previous bike, 03 Heritage Springer. I was very happy with it.
On the 01 (above) I love the sound, a bit louder than the SE I had on previously. As you prob know we got hit pretty hard with a blizzard here in LI NY so not much ride time yet. But I was happy the day I put the fishtails on and rode around the freezing cold LOL.

Here's one of the videos with the V&H fishtail, bike Idling in my driveway on a cold winter day/ engine warm up:
http://s36.beta.photobucket.com/user...bdd8e.mp4.html
The bike came with a PC III, and already had a map for the slip ons and my set up. She runs great and pulls strong. (aside from some MM warm idle issues)
I also have an S&S VFI coming, as I'm also planning on getting rid of the finicky Magneti Marelli ECM. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for posting up that link, it sounds great!!

I was hoping I could just bolt the slip ons on the bike and run it. As long as it doesn't pop and as long as the plugs read ok I guess that's good enough for me.

My 01 RKC is bone stock.
