This is my 2005 RK. Looked good but used a lot of oil from the start and I ended up trading it off. Was also carbureted and never ran quite right,even after warranty replacement of the carb. 6000 miles and 4 months, then gone!
Had this 2006 custom for a while but with the lower suspension it rode like a truck and dragged over speed bumps and around half the turns I took. Looked cool, rode lousy. Stuck to the road well, just too darned low for my tastes. Traded after about 8500 miles one summer.
This is my current 2010 RK. Runs great and still making it my own.
