Gray I have a friend who has them on his RK. He said he would not ride without them. I do not know who makes them but they are chrome and come down at an angle toward the forks. I hope this helps.

Bull has them on his and decided to take them off this morning coming to work. He said they will go back on as soon as he gets home.

Got them on my Heritage and my EG, I know not a RK but the Heritage is similar. Work great, keep rock chips off my tanks, helps prevent the wind swirl up under the windshield and blocks the wind off my knees.

Noise cancelling earphones will work, and probably cheaper.

When riding my bike. You said it had to much stuff out front and it wasn't a real bike. Now look at you. :028:

At 100mph I can hear my stereo just fine. Make sure you got the sensitivity on the volume set right. Creature comforts are great. Who would ride a bike without a radio anyway! :brows:

Yea, but you only here it on the left side so it is not really stereo. No real exhaust noise over there to cover up the sound.

Guess it depends on how fast you ride. I barely hear my exhaust when I'm riding. Sounds like stock mufflers. But you know, I can't hear rear my rear speakers when I'm driving fast. Just the front ones. So I only get the 4-way when I'm posing around town. :lol:

We are still making fun of Rocks fake side?

Do the fork wind deflectors really work?

I have been using the H-D fabric guards...They kinda help.

My Ipod has shat da bed....no tunes for now.

We'll have to ask Gray once they are mounted. Should be mounted by next year this time. He's still riding around with the chrome linkage he brought to KC in his saddle bag.

A fake pipe..........Would that not be like a hair piece?

A fake pipe.....Say it...FAKE as in pretend.

Like using a sock in your shorts to boost self esteem.

Fake fake fake.....

I am sorry Rock...I still laugh when I hear...Fake pipe.

And the fact that I am still licking my wounds for joining the Fabulous and flamboyant GaZintAs

8, what is the best price you found on those? $150 seems a bit high, but I guess if they work and don't fall out of your ear...... :blink:

Sorry, I already took the ugly things off. I'm only gonna use them on Interstate riding. Actually, they don't look half bad.

Jim, they may be standard on a Buick.

Found them here for $88.26... (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007WTHLY/ruggedelegance5189-20/ref=nosim?gclid=CNLZuKC96IsCFQQRYwode0WmUg)

Do a google search for "etymotic 6i", then do the bizrate, shopzilla thing.

I like the black, but they come in white as well...

Thanks 8. I'm thinking black is a bit less 'noticeable' since earphones while riding are illegal in PA.

Slowly you are being assimilated. Black is the better color. "We will control the vertical...we will control the horizontal...etc....etc."
