I am looking at an 05 deluxe. It has less than 5000 miles. Wanted to know if there are any issues I should know about or check into. If you know of any questions for me to ask, let me know. This bike is all original so there will be alot of changes to come. I will keep you all informed if I purchase this ride. Thanks in advance for your help. Oh yeah, he is asking $13,000 with room to wiggle. there are no extras that come with it.
Mark, while the total miles is attractive, the price seems a bit high for no extra's. I'd say $11,500.00. If you willing to spend $13,000.00 I would consider a newer Deluxe which use the six-speed transmission and the revised cam tensioner phenolic shoes - 2007+.
A buddy just picked up a super clean 04' Road King w/ 9000 miles and loaded with H/D chrome, tachometer, de-tach windshield, aftermarket handlebars, hard bags, new tires, battery, brakes, etc. - $10,200.00.
The deals are out there for sure. Be patient. Have you done similar bike/price comparisons from sources such as E-bay or Craigslist?
