Thanks so much. I def do love the way it rides. Also I cant wait till the wife can get a chance and ride together. She wouldnt ride on the back of my Fatboy so that was one of the reasons that I went with a Touring ride is she has said she would ride on the back of it. haha.
Thanks much, Did they help to sit up a little straighter?

Also you your wife will love this.

FYI Get the small volume pump and experiment with the pressure on the rear shocks. Makes a big difference when that is sync riding two up. Check the manual on the 09 pressures.

The RK is an awesome bike and very versatile in the way it can be stripped down or turned into a full dresser with that detachable docking kit. I absolutely LOVE my new RK and couldn't be more tickled with it. With it's retro style it's THE classic motorcycle in the H-D line-up.

Mine will be wearing Wide White Walls as soon as it's time for new tires.
