Default Picked up a 2012 Deluxe

Was looking for a Road King on craigslist when a really good deal on a 12 Deluxe pops up. I contacted the owner 30min after it had posted and said I’d bring cash in the morning. 18k miles and not a scratch. Has a nice leather tour pack too. I’m hoping these old bones can adjust to another Softail. It’s the red & white combo and looks pretty nice. Anything to look out for on these? I ride 12-15000 thousand a year and havent owned a HD since 2006(02 Nighttrain). Going for a ride.

Very nice and color is wonderful. That's the color I really wanted when I bought my 2013. Couldn't get it though. I settled with the midnight pearl. My white is the same as yours. They used that color for 2012 and 2013.

I've had the same year bike for awhile now, midnight pearl like Cocky's, the only thing I'd say check is the rear spokes when your checking air, had mine loosen up on me so bad the rear would shake before I figured out what was going on, just keep an eye on them, other than that I've had zero problems with anything on it. Enjoy, I also wanted the red as its my favorite color, who knows maybe time for a repaint this winter.
