Good for you. Enjoy. As for 5th gear, unlesss I am on the I doing 70+ I rarely get into sixth. Try some Mobil Syn 75W90 gear oil in the tranny. Been running it in my FX for a year or so and it quiets it down and really shifts smooth. Will be going into the RK at 20K when I drain the tranny

Congrats on the King! What is wrong with buying a bike that someone owes money on? Does that harm the bike or make it worth less or something? Do the tires wear out faster or do they not run the same? Just curious is all. Lets ride!!!!

I thought you got into our garage and stole the wife's RKC but nope, it is here in front of me as I type.

Congrats!
