I have enjoyed this forum, I had a 1994 RK that I loved until they came out with the Classic, I purchased a 1998 (first year of the RKC) and loved it it was dark blue solid color, then I saw the 2001 RKC in the two tone Real Teal and Birch White. I added several items to get the “Classic Look” a few of the additions was the two tone paint added to the front fender and the blue tint windshield. I thought you would enjoy a picture of this. I traded the RKC in July 2006 for the new SG (I was ready for the tunes) but I miss the look of the KING.

Whiskers, I have to say that I hardly have a day go by that I don't think about it and miss the look.

God (and Pastor John) will forgive you your sins if you act now and buy another Classic

I agree that is a good looking bike. Whiskers you have the same opportunity as 60mike in terms of paint. The two-tone he added to the front fender sets that bike apart I think as it would yours considering you already have the two-tone tank.
