Default Need help identifying this Road King

Anybody tell what year this RK is , I'm looking to find out what color it is called. I'm looking at the "V" on the side cover and thinking that might be a clue to the year.

I'm not sure, but that looks alot like Sunglo Blue. I believe this was a standard H-D color in '05 and '06. As for the year, I have not a clue.

Evo motor with older style brakes and wheels- does that help narrow it down?

I know somebody on this forum owned it and just traded it for a new one. Maybe he will come on with the answer to the color question.
