Default 04 Heritage

A friend of mine has bought an 04 Heritage with 30k miles from ebay, thats all I know about the bike. He and I are going to pick it up Friday. Is there any certain thing we should really take a good look at. I have a FLHT, and I know what little things can be bothersome with the touring models. Don't know what the softtails have that maybe trouble. Just don't want to over look something before he brings it home.
Thanks

Make sure the paint on the bike is black, that is has drag pipes with slash out, and that it has as many chrome spots and concho's that one can possibly get on it (no open areas on any leather).

Ask if the cams have been changed or the cam chain tensioners have been replaced or checked yet.
