Default Moving from a 07 Super glide to a older RK

I've been wanting to get a Road King. But can't afford a 07 or newer one. I do a lot of Highway speeds of 70+. How much would I miss the 6 speed and 96 motor on my super glide?

None, as you can do a simple 32 to 34 tooth front pulley swap and drop the revs on the hyway if you feel they are too high. You will probably miss that big motor on a light Dyna chassis a lot more if you get an 88 inch or an Evo powered touring bike.

This^. I owned an 02 Super Glide and an 07 Street Bob. I also have owned an 03 Road King with the 88 inch motor. I could cruise 80 MPH all day on that Road King and be just fine. The 88 runs just fine IMO
