Can't wait to see the pics! My FIL had a Morocco Gold Heritage, and the bike was gorgeous. I'd love to see an RK in that color, but the pics on the HD web site are absolutely horrid. They shot a Morocco Gold RK on a dreary gray day, against dreary gray skies, in front of off-white surf. They might as well have painted the RK with off-white ceiling paint.

The real pleasure will come after you take a nice long ride on the new King and find out how comfortable it really is.

I bought it at Adam Smith Harley in Hurst. The one in Allen is closest to me, but my trade-in deal was with Adam Smith so I went back there. They are fetching the bike from Amarillo, so they are expecting to have it ready for me to pick up on Tuesday. Ended up getting one with the ABS for no extra charge since it was all they could find.

Incidentally there was a MG RK in the store, but it was the one they had chosen to customize. They made everything that wasn't painted Morocco Gold a gloss black. They did a good job, but I wasn't really digging the contrast overall. Plus it added $12k to the price, no thank you.

I agree. I thought the bike was a gloss tan until I saw it in the store. The white with gold fleck it actually is painted is far prettier than the web site indicates. You can bet I will be snapping tons of pics when I pick her up.
