What you just got, is what I'm trying to find a bargain on. Those bikes were meant to drive, and that's EXACTLY what thier owners did.
I watch a YouTuber called SRKcycles. Pretty entertaining. He sells bikes online and all. He says his personal Harley is a RK and it's got 117K on her!?
I need to find out what years had the tensioner probs, AND how to know if the fix has been done.
Gets hard to find really nice shape bikes with alot of age on them. My FXR(I bought new in 91) is in exceptional shape, but looking a lil closer, well, you can see some age.
I know I'm ranting, but I also think I want hard bags on one. There's a couple non Harley/used bike dealers fairly close. I'd like to think if they had a couple of RK, one with hard bags, the other not, that they'd swap em out if need to make the sale. IDK.
CONGRATS AGAIN!

So far, all I have are pics of it at the dealer before I paid for it. It looks a lot prettier in the photos than in person. The paint isn't as red, and there's a fair amount of deep chips and scuffs. But here she is folks.

I was advised somewhere on here ( been talking about a RK winter "steal" for awhile now) that 09 and later we're a lil nicer / larger rear tire, etc.
It wouldn't keep me from buying an earlier one though for sure. I like the looks without the shield on. Believe it or not, I'm 60 and never owned, OR rode a bike with a windshield. I can see the obvious advantages! Hey? Can you actually smoke a cig riding with one?

FRIGGIN' SAWEET! NICE! I'm jealous as hell. Lol. Hey, If your gonna love on it, I recently found some good stuff for renewing chrome. Takes some elbow grease though. I used it on my '91. It not only cleans semi f'ed up chrome, but brings luster and new shine to the good chrome. It's called BLUE JOB. It's a white powder (don't even think it...) That ya mix with water or quick wax spray into a paste. Try it if you are into it.

RIGHT?!?! OMG this weather has been just oppressive this season, I almost put my tree back up. But then again, that's part of the charm of western NY.

The chrome stuff, I will definitely look into that. Thanks for the tip!
