I love that color! What year did that come on?

Thanks Victor. It was the special edition color 2020. I believe it was only offered on the RKS and RGS - called Zephyr Blue / Black Sunglo. Took me a long time to find one. Love the Blue on your '23!

Had a guy come up to me at Laconia Bike Week and say why did HD name that Zephyr Blue? - I don't see anything but Purple lol. Personally, I see more Blue than Purple. To each his own. It's a great color.

Gotta question for the house, finally showing 17 road king some love. Since the old lady doesn't ride I want to go a solo seat. Suggestions for low slung but comfortable that do some miles ?

I ride pretty much exclusively solo now myself. I've tried multiple Mustang seats and various stock seats. I finally ended up biting the bullet and sending the stock seat off my sons since departed '20 Street Glide Special to Mean City and let them modify it to my measurables at 215# and 32" inseam. I had them maintain the stock position but narrow the front section so my legs could get a straighter shot to the ground. Mind you I like the look of the solo with my contoured fender luggage rack but I'm extremely happy with the MCC modded seat and the more I ride it the better it gets.

I have used C&C seats out of CA on my last bike and my current RKS. They are true custom and can match a back rest if you want one.




A picture of the seat. I thought I had one with it on the bike. FYI, my RKS is Midnight Crimson and the burgundy vinyl matches nicely.

I’ve done the 12” Kst straight jacket on 2021. Stock brake and clutch with electrical needing extension.

What fork deflectors are you using on your RKS? The HD ones won't fit according to HD website.
