I have over 700 miles on her now, went for a nice ride today along the Delaware River up to Narrowsburgh, I think it’s broke in pretty good now, gets up to 80 with ease, on the way home I took it on 84 and opened it up, something I always do after a ride and it got up to 100, about 4000 rpm and felt like it wanted to go more, the only issue is the tranny, I think it can shift smoother and I shouldn’t have such a hard time finding neutral, maybe it’s the heel shifter, either way after the 1000 mile service I’ll be switching to V-Twin Redline, after doing the service on my Evo today, I noticed how smoothly it shifted with the Redline. Glamour shot at Hawks Nest.

I’ve had my RKS for 2 weeks and just surpassed the 500 mile break in. I rode some twisties that had me changing gears and engine breaking often. Then got to 100 on the way home. Smooth as silk compared to my previous 2013 Street Bob. I really love the way this bike rides.
