Just bought 05 RK, as my first venture into the harley "family", I admit I might not be the best one to rate this machine. But here goes.
1. On the standard, the first thing I found I really needed to do was change the handlebars, the stock ones had me leaning over the tank to much for comfort on a long ride. So I replaced with bars from wild-1 that are similiar to stock on the custom, much better.
2. This is no doubt the biggest bike I have owned(last bike BMW R1200C) and will take a little getting used to, but the power is unmistakable, and of course the looks,feel and sound are amazing.
3. Not sure yet if I will lower and give up some comfort for a little lower wheel base, maybe.

That is all I have for now, as here in Indiana its cold,snowing, and not much good for riding right now.
