Adding another King?
I have a 2017 Black Road KIng and a 2008 Heritage Softail. Thinking about changing out the Softail for an older Road King. Came across a 2009 King with a teal and cream color scheme which I love. They have the old school look. Are there others that have two bikes of the same model? And is a 2009 with 20k miles worth $9500? NADA says it does, but I don’t find NADA to be true in reality.
Note: Nothing against the Softail. One of the pretties bikes I’ve owned. However with major knee issues I can’t get comfortable enough to ride more than an hour even with seat, pegs, and handlebar changes. Had a few surgeries.
What are your thoughts?

Love my Road King, but two of them?? Nahhhh-- If I could ever afford another bike, I'd buy something smaller. Scout 60, Sportster, KTM390. whatever.....maybe if that happens way in the future, even a FreeWheeler !
Good luck in your decision. I know a lot of long time bike owners eventually have 2, 3 or even more, bikes. I haven't been a "biker" very long. I am playing catchup !

I wouldn't want two , as a matter a fact , I would love to have a heritage sittin beside my king . I've always loved the heritage because you can strip them down and go solo , and the softail frame looks awesome to boot . I'll own one some day , when the King gets to heavy for me to handle and my wife gives up being a passenger .
Love that old two tone paint , getting tired of dealing with black , plan on painting it 2 tone next year , just haven't decided on color .

Go for it...beat them up on the price the best you can then buy it. They're the same bike but different because of years in between. I have an 08 road king and I drool over the thought of adding a brand new one to go with it. I also want to add an early twin cam carbureted dyna...build a 98" sleeper out of it. Lifes short...you get one turn on the big spinning rock so do what makes you happy.

My bil has a good friend who owns a body / paint shop , met him at a bbq , he told me as long as I remove all the tin's , he'll paint the 2 tone , price will be negotiated then , it won't be cheap , but well done .
