I bought the painted set.
It was cheaper than me painting the stuff!
1000 bucks!
No core.
Anymore it cost about 600 bucks in materials just for a small job!
2015 Road Glide --tank, fenders, bags, fairing. side covers. All related parts.
No trunk.
Now I can keep the original painted RK tin as it is/was from the factory.
At some point, it will make the old 1994 EVo RK worth a dollar more to have the original crap.

No, it is not a superbike, but I already know it beats much larger bore and stroke stuff in or near the Harley framework.
With the raised ports i am getting to the end of the line for mods with a wimpy case.
They are prone to breaking in stock form!
I have modded this with so much stuff for such a long time, truly do not remember it all.
But the BEST mod of all was-
Was the fresh Swing bushings with a" Tour Link thingy."
It is the most stable platform I have ever road.
The Honda F6B is a lot more wobbly!
Road snakes, cracks, ETC> send nothing to the operator.
Grated steel bridges are almost a none feel.
I am aware because I am experienced enough to know they are and there, and know what the outcome if wet.

There you have the whole story.
What are you building/ making?
