I signed up for a road custom in late 1994, got it in March 1995, ordered another one in very early 1999, got it in April 1999, and that second one is still after 26 years my favorite Riv and my favorite bike of all time. I ordered other Rivs, custom and stock, afterward but none were as good as that one which is my remaining Riv. I did get a couple of other customs from another builder that used the 1999 as a general “fit and feel and handling” model, with some success.
