Default Pearl Yellow RK Custom ** UPDATE **

Just wondering what the forum thought of the RK Custom in Pearl Yellow? I've got a chance of one at a good price and although I've not seen the bike yet, on paper it seems a good deal. I've never saw a yellow RK custom except in pictures, always fancied it in black, but this is a one owner , 3k miles bike with stage 1 tune. Needs apes mind you but thats just my opinion. Thanks in advance for your comments.

Not a real fan. Looks faded in person.

I can't give color advise -

I will tell you that I personally, like the yellow.

If you are getting a good deal on the bike, grab it and save some coin for a while & have it painted.

Before it got flattened by a cager I had a Heritage in that colour and still think it is the most beautiful colour you can find for these bikes! It is of course personal but I'd say GET IT!

I like the yellow Road Kings. You don't see many on the road.

1. You're the one paying for it.

2. You're the one riding it.

3. You're the one spending money for add-ons.

Summation:

Who cares what we think? If you think it's a good deal, grab it and ride the hell out of it.

I love my yellow RK. It looks awesome in the sunlight and always gets attention. But that's just my style.
