It is a known issue with the '05. I, myself, am having a similar issue with my '05 rk custom burning oil. Have you checked yours? My bike goes in next week, to have the dealer look into it. My warranty ends on the 29th on this month, so I am just in time. I did a search on this issue, and came up with a lot of info. Black gunk was an indicator of valve seal issues. I would get it checked out, and keep an eye on you oil level. BTW, for the first 5k miles, my bike did not burn up any oil at all. It wasn't until after the 5k oil change that this became an issue. I will post up here once I get the bike in the shop, and hear what they are going to tell me.
