I understand that the RKC is being discontinued in '14. Sucks as I wanted to add one of these to the stable when finances permitted. Keep 'em looking good guys. Very nice mods on here. Cheers.

Well, reading through this thread has inspired me. I know I have a ways to go to catch up, starting with a standard rather than a classic, but I took my first baby step this weekend. Added some Fish Tail end caps. On the list of need to do soon is new handlebars. In keeping with the "look" I am leaning toward some RK II bars. New rims, WWWs... sigh the list goes on lol Eventually I'd like to add some white, using my dad's buick as inspiration....
Pick the bars based on comfort, not looks. Pick the grips based on looks.

Hmm... I initially thought birch white, but I like the idea of white pearl!

(Glad I own one.)
On the other hand, you could still buy a regular RK, get wire rims & white-walls, plus leather saddle bags & voila: Almost a Classic!

This is true. I'm learning to appreciate the standard RK more and more. Was put off by the hard bags but they're growing on me. 
I love your idea ...IMO, I would lead towards birch white or antique white to keep that old school look
