Don't know of any "bad" years, but 20K should easily get you a good "07 or possibly even close to \\;a new "08. \\; Whatever you get, I don't think you will have any regrets.

Friend of mine went from a Fat Boy to a Road King Classic. He now owns a Road Glide SE and has said its the most comfortable fun ride hes had yet. Hes 50 and rides with his wife about 70% of the time. You might want to test ride a few before making the hard decision.

Considering the new frame, swingarm, motor mounts etc on the 09's, I'd have to think real hard about it. I think I'd either go new 09 or save $$ by dropping way back to a low mile RUB type five to seven year old low miler. Maybe around a 2002. $.02.

As you know, sometimes those low mile RUB bikes are loaded up with extras. My 02 Deuce, sig below, came with $5k in extras counting the factory custom paint. Bought it 2 years ago for $12k, had just 3600 miles on it. $.02.
PS The original owner had receipts for $23k for the bike and accessories. He lost $11k on it obviously.

I did consider this and looked at a couple older low milers..
What I ran into was the Rub's are thinkin there gold plated or somethin
and wan't more $$ for em then there close to bein worth..
