I'm waiting for delivery of my 2021 RKS from the York, PA factory. Sweet looking ride. I really like the crash bars you have installed. Are they the Linby Custom Magnumbar in Gloss Black? Want the same ones for my new scoot.
Keep your knees in the breeze.

Ok, I've been obsessed with this bike since last year. I'm finally ready to pull the trigger and I have the opportunity to have the dealership paint a RKS in any color I want.

ANY COLOR!

What would you guys go for?? Let's see some pics of the best color or custom color for a RKS... help me decide!

My personal favorite factory colors from each year:
2017: Charcoal Denim (4)
2018: Industrial Gray Denim (1)
2019: Midnight Blue (2)
2020: River Rock Gray Denim (5)
2021: Deadwood Green Denim (3)

Custom paint can be awesome, but many tend to go over the top with it. The RKS is a simple bike, imho the paint should match that. No elaborate paintjobs for me or flashy colors. If I had the choice of all factory paints, I would probably go with the Silver Flux/Black Fuse paint job that was on the 2019 SGS and RGS.

The midnight blue is actually what got my attention last year. I walked past this bike and did a total head snap.

I'm the proud new owner of this 2020 RKS. The original owner added a ton of HD accessories and Custom Dynamics turn signals. So far I've done the crankcase breather mod. I changed out the chrome sidecase handles to black ones. I added the Custom Dynamics curved led license plate holder, smoked reflectors in the sidecases and a black seat ****. Next I'm adding the Z Offroad black led headlight with halo ring and a Hogworkz black trim ring. I'm leaving the bike stock as far as the engine and exhaust goes.

Thanks a lot. This bike has a lot of the add ons I would have done if I were to buy a new RKS. It had 2,900 miles on it and I still have over a year on the factory warranty in place.
