After being off a shovel for 10 years, I picked one up today on a package deal with a 95 Road King. $5000 for both. Both have been sitting for some time, and outside of some light custom work, are all original. All they need is a lot of cleaning, oil change, wheel bearings, batteries and tires to get them going. I got them both from the second owner, and I knew the original owners, both who have passed.

RK looks almost completely correct. 95 is a 2nd year model? Shovel looks as though it might be a converted FX-something.
Sure as heck can't beat the price point and an added bonus that you have an understanding of the history of the bikes.
So............which do you start on first? What's the goal for each?
Nice score!
The Road King is 98% correct. The shovel is a FXE and has custom paint and wheels and headlight. I'll probably flip the King and keep the shovel. I'm working on a custom 98" Softail and start on the shovel when I'm finished.
