I must confess to not even knowing that the RKS had different shocks to the RK.
But I’ve never ridden an RK and was quite happy with the suspension when I demo’ed an RKS before buying.
My g/f has been pillion on mine, but not far.
She preferred the Tallboy pillion perch to the Le Pera but the latter is staying on and it’s adequate.Luckily she’s got a tidy arse so will be fine.
The two seats for comparison :
The backrest is removed above but fits with both
I can see how the seat would help, but the stock shocks are horrible imho, crashes over the slightest dip or pothole. I know it’s never going to be a GS, but I do think the standard RK rides much nicer (but doesn’t look as good).
New shocks going on mine when I can bring myself to forking out the neck end of a grand.
But I have to agree the RKS is nice.So on the Heritage classic 114 are the shocks beefier ?
