I would go back and forth between SG and RG as my favorite bike and the one I would buy one day. But, then I road a RKS and I couldn't wipe the ****-eating grin off my face. Well, this Saturday I will pick up my first HD - a 2020 RKS. I feel like a 52 yr old kid days before Christmas Look forward to joining the club and contributing to the forum.
RKS = BEST choice!!!

Good to know. This bike was purchased and serviced at Seacoast HD. Closest dealer to me is High Octane HD. I plan to do basic maintenance myself and bring it to the dealer for the heavy lifting.

Hey Mr. Vince,

I swapped 22" with 20" and I gotta tell you, 20" works much better than it did originally due to an angle/vent direction. And I can see over it so I'm keeping 20" on plus it looks better than the gigantic 22". I'm actually glad I didn't sell it lol

That's great news Oscar I'm happy for you buddy. I'm on the fence about messing with mine. My problem is I like the 22 inch with the vent not to mention the Air Force etching. I may just stay as is.
