Nope.  They're stock.  Both of them.  Really. 

Not only never changed anything myself never was so mean as to offer up ideas that caused others to spend money either.  Stock is what it's all about.  Harley nails everything about them to begin with. 

Anything tan must be an optical illusion in the photo.  Here's a closeup to show it better.  See, nothing tan at all!

Soooooooo...... that's why your other nickname is "Bonestock"?

I am going through with the purchase… I thank all of you for your knowledge on this subject.  They tell me that it will be here late February or March.  I will be making a few additions to it. Seat, windshield, passenger foot boards for sure. I hope the pipes sound good so I do not have to replace them right away. I do not plan on making any engine modifications unless I need to.  I will post some pictures when I get it. I might have to take it south for a few days and get the break in done before riding season starts up here.  If anyone thinks I should do anything else I’m always willing to listen…. Thanks again

Congrats on the decision.  It will be a great moment when you ride away from the dealer on your new bike.  If you are going to change seats, wait to get the windshield until after you see where the new seat positions you and then get a windshield based on your final positioning.

I haven't heard any comments on the bars.  With earlier RG's the bars were the first thing to go.  They must be a decent shape on the new ones...?

That's a 2 into 1 exhaust.  That isn't stock, is it?  Tinkering includes having someone else put upgrades on.  LOL.  I'm hitting the hay here.  It's almost 5am and I haven't been to sleep yet.

No.  Really.  Anything that isn't stock is just an optical illusion.  A trick of flash photography.  I would never be so insane as to do all to a motorcycle that the illusions suggest to mine.

Y'know...no one modifies their bikes, yet the darned cameras these days just aren't what they should be! Whenever someone takes a picture of me, it looks like I am only 5'4" tall, and weigh 210 lbs...wtf? I know for a fact your bikes ARE bone-stock...

Finally someone understands how much work it is to keep a bike as stock as mine are.  This chit ain't easy.

I too wondered if I may have made a mistake, The day after I put the down pymt on my SERG I read the AI article, and like you I came here to get the straight scoop! I am now REALLY  looking forward to March And I am only having sleep problems due to excitement, not worry! I say go for it! I am!! Thanks to all that responded to my "worried" post!
