mnightangeld do you have any pictures with the Lindbar installed. I'm considering it also instead of the stock one.

Quote: I bought a Flanders beach bar that is 5" wider than the stock bar and a sprung solo saddle. Now I can do 1K per day, every day, You sure about that? You must mean 1 Kilometer... 
Congrats. Sounds like you've done some tasty stuff... forgive my ignorance, mnightangeld, but what's a Linby Bar?
Post a pic of your bike if you can!

How small of a person are you? For me, narrow bars are uncomfortable and pinched across the chest. The Flanders B6, at 37" wide, fits me perfectly. A wider bar opens up your upper body and lets you breathe more easily. It also gives you higher mechanical advantage in low-speed situations, which makes the bike easier to handle in lots and such. If you are a tiny person, I can imagine why you would want little bars. And no, I do mean one-thousand miles per day...

A linbar is made by Per Lindby, who pioneered the highway pegs and crash bars in one. They're pretty cool, if you like the modern look.
Here's a good link:

Lava Red Sunglo is going to go down as one of the great HD colors.
I've got a few more cosmetic changes brewing for my RK Custom, then I'll post some pics, 1K. Show us your scoot, too! :-)
One more thing...HD has announced the RK Custom specific leather Tour Pak. It's beautiful. Mine's already on order.

Ah.
I've liked those for years; I just didn't know what they were called.
Cool!

I am new to the forum. I to recently purchased an 04 RKC. I fell for it the first time I saw it. I have added a detachable windshield.
I am looking for suggestions on mufler upgrade from the stock. I would like to do this first and then later do the Stage 1. Enjoyed reading the feedback from forum.
