The RK has 30k miles and is an 01' model. Is 30k a little high? Rebuild on the way?

Only concern. It has great paint, very clean etc.

If it was me: 2005 Softail Springer-15k miles, $12.9k

Coolest bike, lowest price, lowest miles - I wouldn't even need to think about the other 2.

Really? I recently went to a HD test ride event and rode a softail deluxe, crossbones and road king back to back - after the 2 softails the RK felt like crap - way too high and pushed my knees up until I got a cramp in my hip. No way I'd consider one over any softail.
