Black, white & chrome is a great color combo IMHO. Always wondered howthe Deluxe-style paint would look on a RK-was nicely done on that bike.

Great looking bikes fellas. I've got a strong gut feeling I will be owning an 08 RKC come July.Once I get this feeing, there's no turning back.It is futile to resist. I enjoy the beauty of the american classic bikes. The RKC is the only touring model that looks likea Harley (IMO) and, as evidenced by Whiskers,Sol, and others, can be created into a classic look.

Ihave someideas for retro'in an RK that I'm chomping at the bit to start. Figured I'ld wait for the 08 line to allow me time to back out. But I doubt it.

bobros,

I wish your name was as easy to rememberas your incredible bike! I've mentioned to others the great job you did with your Deluxe...and personally, I can't think of many other bikes on the forum that have captured the essence of an 'old school' V-Twin like yours has.

I'd sure like to hear your thoughts on a RKC...that has been the whole point behind this particular thread.

Take care.
