Kind of a NASA go/no-go type of question.

It's a '15 RK. He did the black out work himself. It's a beauty. One of the nicest on the forum. Doesn't really improve or clarify his comment though. Sheesh.

Yes, you're right. It's written right under the picture. It is a nice bike though. Looked like a blacked out 17......
