Sat down and went through the entire thread. When I get back from overseas in September, I pick up my 2011 RK. Thanks for all the great suggestions. I have so many ideas, I don't know where to start.

This is really wierd, Razor....I have that same picture on my 'Favorites' and I was looking at it last night thinking the same question. They are pretty cool looking pipes...one would think they were created just for the RKC's.

I just wonder if the cones would darken with soot and heat.
If they're stainless you could hit them with a scotch-brite every once in a while.
Sure would compliment my Caddy tail lights.

Yes, they would. I'm all for you buying a set and letting us know how they work.

They are really cool looking for sure. Id love to buy a used set. They are kinda pricey new.

I've been combing junkyards for a cool alternative to my stock tail light.

Whiskers, Bmorehomeboy, Bobros;

Any of you guys really; who put the front fender light on, couple questions.

I saved pretty much all the pics I kind find of your bikes, any close ups of the light would be nice. The big question, what size bits did ya'll use and obviously you started pilot holes, what size bits?

I picked up the Heritage Springer fender light today for a great price, but notice the wiring is rather thick. Since I have a Road King and not a Classic, most of my fender tip lamp wiring is still intact, as I changed the tip a few months ago to the Classic style, maybe I can use the original wiring instead of the thicker one.

Any suggestions, pics, etc, etc greatly appreciated as I'll be tackling this project in the next few weeks. I'm finally changing my bars and doing the chrome front in about three weeks. Also going to change out the Road King emblem for an Electra Glide one. Can't wait!
