I loved my RKs but ended up selling them and buying a Dyna just because the RK was getting too heavy for me to roll around at slow speeds.
That was my first option, sell it or find a Dyna that was willing to trade, but I had no luck at either. There are so many bikes for sale now, its hard to unload one for a decent price, so I figured I would try this. Hopefully it will work out...

You should notice a difference, almost all the weight you are removing is up high. You can also look for a lower seat, that'll help you maneuver it when parking, etc.
