Not sure about a 96 RK but a 2005 RK Custom the forks are wider so I dont think you can use the same windshield.

I think it is going to come down to WHICH shield you want to put on.

For my '08 Fatboy, I am using a HD shield model that came out in 2005:

Low Profile, smoked windshield #57141-05 $389.95

The last two digits of any HD part number tell the YEAR the part was introduced.

I hope this helps.
