2011 RKC needs mods
Just bought a lightly used 2011 RKC that's bone stock. It's lacking a little in low end torque and the exhaust are quiet enough to make me invisible to others on the road. I ordered a stage one and I wanted to see what the experienced touring bike owners recommend for mods that are easy on the pocket book and squeeze out more power and make me a little more noticeable to busily texting drivers. Thanks for any guidance.

De cat header(or buy mine which is already decatted) which will improve the sound siginificantly and perfromance some.. Change the handlebars as the stock ones will tear your shoulder up after a few hours. PCV, air cleaner and slips ons after the decat, then dyno tune the bike. Mine went from 58 to 72 HP max hp with 84 lbs of torque. very happy with it now!

One option is take out the cat in your head pipe, and get some good & loud slip ons (hi outputs, 4" rhinehearts, etc)
Another option is get a different head pipe (fuel Moto, v&h x pipe, etc).... And slip ons.
Third option is a 2-1. My D&D makes awesome torque and is nasty loud.
