Default Need help! 2005 Roadking or 2007 Roadking Custom

Hey everyone, I am looking at getting a bagger to add to the stable. I am still going to keep my Street Bob. I am looking at a white 2005 Roadking ($9,995) with 29,000 miles on it or a 2007 Roadking Custom (12,995) with 3,800 miles on it. I haven't seen the 2005 yet in person will this weekend but I have seen the 2007 and the thing looks brand new. I like both, what one do you think is the better deal and should I go with?

I like Roadking Classic lol, not a fan of RK Custom, RK standard is alright. Anyway 07 with a 96/6 speed would be my choice, no tensioner headache.

Easy choice I think...that white custom is sweet and no miles. Great looking bike, good luck.

I would go for the 96" with the 6 speed but that is also 3k more so that may be a deciding factor. The pre '07 may have issues with the old style cam chain tensioners but 3k goes a long way.
