For real. While reading the OP, the first thought that popped into my head was "just rattle can it flat black if you don't want anybody to recognize what kind of bike it is." The only Rivs I've ever seen in person were in a shop now out of business and they were all beautifully made and built up. I don't think when Grant P. says "Just ride" he means "Just ride my bikes set up the way I say." OP, build it up as you see fit and make it your own. I doubt you will regret it.
