Duke,

I wouldn't let $300 get in the way of the bike you want. Personally, the vivid black is my choice but I'm not going to ride your bike. Let us know what you get and post pics! Either way, I know you are going to enjoy your new classic. I have a 2005 RK classic and have made several modifications to make it fit me better - let me know if I can assist you.

All Harley's should be black. My Road King was black and it looked really good, especially with some tasteful chrome.
Congraulations on your choice.

As for mods, I would definately have a Stage 1 kit. That is about the only pratical way to upgrade the exhaust, and I just wouldn't want to have stock exhaust. I'm not big on a lot of noise, but the stock mufflers are just too quite.

I would also go with different bars, but that's because the RoadKing bars just don't fit me. This is something you will have to try before you can decide.

Regards,

Bill

First thing I did was change the bars, stage 1 kit, new exhaust, back rest with luggage rack for the lady.
no is the time to start adding the chrome and make it mine...
