Congrats on the bike, I as well have a 05 RK Custom and love it. I as well have changed out the bars (HD street slammers) and went to a Mustang solo seat.
I also went with a 95 build and have been very happy with it.

The one thing I would like to swap, is the rear end from the new street glide. I love that filled in back fender with the hard bags, that will be my next upgrade, but will go with the aftermarket as HD stuff is too much $$$$$$

Have fun
 
I use a piece of pipe insulation between the head light and the cut out at the bottom of the windshield, works great. Got it at the Home Depot its for 1/2" copper pipe amd its self adhesive. I had a Mustang seat on it, moved me way to far forward, I was living on the highway pegs, I'm 6' tall. Now I have a Corbin classic and love it!

Well, I got the original...a 2004 RK Custom. (1) Changed the seat to a Corbin Classic Solo. (2) Dumped the "windscreen" and put on a regular RK clamp cover with the spear. (3) New bars...went with Wild 1 509s. (4) Switched out the wheels for spokes and whitewalls. (5) Somewhere in there, powdercoated just about every piece of chrome I could pull off!

The RK Custom is my first (and only) Harley and I love it! Just turned 43000 miles. Enjoy!
 
That really is a great looking bike. I love the blacked out look, but it just will not work as well with my pearl white paint job. I sent an e-mail to cc seats to see if they can hook me up with what I am looking for. I will get back with you all later.

I took the bike into the local guy I use today to have a few things done. While I was there I was talking with him about saddles. I had a chance to sit on a customers bike that has a Corbin Dual Tour on it. All I can say is that I have never sat on a better feeling seat. This may end up being a hard choice.

the hard bags on a custom fit the same as the police bags (or other abs bags). you might have to adjust the upper mounting points where the dzus pins fit, but otherwise, its a direct swap.
