No matter how many times I see a RK, it's still a knee buckler. Beautiful bike and great color choice. Enjoy and ride safe!

Could have guessed this was in order because of the thread at Labor Day.
No better time to buy than end of quarter/end of year!!
Anyway, congrats are in order. You'll love it.......


If the floorboards get a little high, try the forwards from Jaybrake.
I have the Accutronix on my Ultra, going with the Jaybrake on my '16 FLHXS.

Very cool man! Beautiful silver too!

They try to sell you on matching jacket and chaps?


If you head down to Hollister for a custom fitted seat let me know.

Going to be different ain't no two ways round that one.
I've been around Harley's 20+ years. I don't know anything about those water cooled gizmo's
