I bought it!! Need to get used to the difference in size from my sportster and find a new seat. Plus what's up with the accent bar on the rear fender coming out of the fender struts?

No pics yet, got it home and started tearing it apart. Making some changes, new plate mount and seat are on top of list. Might get stock seat shaved and modified. There is a rack on the back I need to get off. Also took the hoppes quadzilla batwing off. Need to figure out how to get the power cord uninstalled.

all are nice upgrades, but going from an '03 sporty to an 03 RK will be like switching from a honda civic to a lincoln town car on longer rides.

I went from Sporty to EGC.. difference of night & day
