I heard from Calumet HD (where we purchased it) there were less than 3000 total 'cool blue pearl' motorcycles produced, but that seems high to me. I have never seen another RKC. However, my wife and I saw a trike at the motorcycle museum in Anamosa, Iowa, which is an awesome museum! And, we saw two Sportsters, one of which was at a dealer in Rockford, ILL.

Still a work in progress. Put the 16's on it now what do you guys think? Is a classic still a "classic" with apes?

2002 FLHRCI. Farkles: Screaming Eagle pipes with fishtails. Corbin solo. Motherwell rack. Layback license plate with spiked bolts. Clear turn signals. Recessed headlight, passing lights and turn signals. 11" mini apes. Chrome billet grips, chrome switchgear covers, braided cables. HD classic teardrop mirrors. Nostalgia rider footboards, nostalgia brake pedal, Kuryakyn extended shift levers, chrome billet shift pegs to match the grips. Willie G air cleaner trim. HD parade fan.

Left to do: black/white Iron Braids with fringe. Old school pinstriping on tank and front fender. Considering a new solo seat with fancier leather.
