I liked the scripted HD on my 06 RK Custom, but from day one, the front edges were peeling back and that looked like crap. I opted for a painted Bar and Shield emblem when I painted it. Either way, I prefer an emblem.
Since you took the emblem off you might be readyto consider acustom paint job. The best modification that I did for my RKC was the paint job...hands down, and the bike has HD all over it anyhow so I didn't think it was necessary to have the tank emblem any more.Since you recently got the hard bags for your RK it would look awesome to personalize it with custom paint...whaddya think? With or without the tank emblem, your RK looks great.
I sure appreciate everyones opinions. I'm still not sure if I'll put any emblems on. The original ones didn't come off in the best shape, I suppose I got in too big of a hurry. I'm thinking of going with a silver and black bar and shield. I like things to be a little different then every other RK.
