Off the top of my head.....
The. It gets difference to me is the RKC comes with leather bags and the standard has hard bags. Inlike the look of the leather but it requires more maintenance to keep it looking good. Also they don't lock, you have to buy locks seperately. RKC comes with white wall tires. Different badges and paint combos .
Rkc has the spoke wheels, leather look saddlebags and comes standard with cruise and abs. RK standard has the hard bags, cast wheels... Abs and cruise were options but most bikes came with them. It really boils down to the bags and wheels
If you go to the Harley website they have a "Compare Bikes" function under the "Tools" menu. You can plug in up to 3 different models and it will give you the specs on each one side by side.
standard has front fender tip light and rear bumper ... Classic has chrome trim front and rear fender tips. Classic has smaller front rim/bigger tire. (I think)
different tank badge and pinstripe location. The black classics are faster
