Here's an update picture of my 2015 RK Special with powder coated SG wheels. I like my chrome version better than black, just my 2 cents...

Just found this old thread and read through all the replies. All I can say is that you're all too old, nobody likes chrome. you're trying too hard.

I would rather have this 2007 SE110 than the new RK Special and that's what I bought.

In all seriousness, they're all good looking bikes. Nobody's wrong for liking chrome and nobody's wrong for liking the blacked out look.

Chrome don't get ya home...this is like arguing about religion or politics..or better yet paint color...who cares!! With that said I have driven this new model RK and its DOPE...really quick responsive and IMO really great...I wish the MOCO would offer wheel variations from the factory as an option

I'm a big fan of the RKS look and several times almost bought one but in the end, I still like the chrome on black and went with a Road King standard

I still think the RKS with a chrome exhaust would be the right combination of everything
