Nobody said a 2005 is "old school", those are your words. The word TJ used was "older" which is exactly what it is. 2005 is older than 2019.
Show us a 2019 with a bobtail fender and Springer front end. We'll wait. You seem to be trying to start an argument for the sake of arguing.

If you want an older bike, I just don't get the point or difference on a 2005. Its about set up or model at that point, not age of bike. I think you have to go to Shovel to start seeing difference. Though I like the evo baggers that don't have plastic side covers and battery is there. But other than a few small things I don't see that much difference in Evo and newer. In looks or sound department.

There are several good points that have been brought up. In searching the Bay and Cycle Trader, I only found a couple of bikes that caught my eye. They would need additional work, and I would likely have more invested in them than what I could sell my RK for. I’m not an accomplished mechanic, so there’s that.
i think the sensible thing for me to do is take my existing bike and make it look more vintage. I’ve found some pieces, but have yet to find a vintage looking air cleaner cover that works with the Stage 1 air filter on my 103.

If you want the so called old school look take all the plastic garbage off yours. Put on a solo seat,18"apes,a 21" narrow front wheel & tire,bob the rear fender and get a couple rattle cans of Kyrlon paint (perferablie flat black) and presto you are old school. Now vintage is another story.

I love my 2014 Road King. It's the best running Harley I've had to date. It only has 3500 miles on it (I only ride it around town or on short hops). There's not a thing in the world wrong with it. But for some reason, I have the itch to get a more "vintage" bike. I just like the old school look, and I've seen some gorgeous older bikes on this forum. I'd have to sell the Road King to get the older bike. Am I nuts?

Regarding the AC....S&S teardrop air cleaner will work on your bike and looks great. You can replace the whole unit and filter for $299.
