RKC = Classic or Custom?
Question,
In reading the boards, I see people use the acronym RKC for the Classic and the Custom. I am guily of using is to refer to the Custom. Which is a bit confusing to me... Is there a general rule as to which model it should stand for? And then what acronym should be used for the other model?
Thanks...

RE: RKC = Classic or Custom?
When I first joined the forum I used RKC for RK Classic butsince it caused confusion, I switched to RK Classic. But I think most people interput RKC as RK Classic.

My 05 RKCustom had brake squeal from hell, it even squealed coasting.
A good set of pads from JP stoped it completly, after no help from my dealer.

Thats too bad.. I had to make 2 trips to my dealer to get them to fix it, but they did fix it... 1st was sanding a bevel in the pads, 2nd was swapping the rotors left to right.
I don't know if we are allowed to plug dealers here (mod please delete these sentences if that is the case) but Nashua HD in Merrimack NH has really taken care of me. They went out of thier way to price match other dealers in the area, they did everything they could to make sure I was able to take delivery on a Saturday, and have addressed all of my concerns with the bike in a very understanding manner.. Being this is my first HD, I had a lot of misconceptions of how they ran.. They spent a few hours total with me going over the idiosyncrasies of how the bike runs and handles, wothout ever being condescending. In today's day and age where customer service is fading, they always go above and beyond the call of duty..

By comparing the directional groove on your front rotors (from your sig), I would guess they already swapped them left to right? Or maybe they started to manufacture them that way?
