Default Long Shot - Looking for Previous Owner

I picked up this 2005 Road King a few months back. I know this is a long shot, but I'd like to find the previous owner of the bike in order to get some history on the engine. Does anyone recognize this bike? Located in SoCal. ~50k miles.

It was obvious when I bought the bike it had engine work done. I recently did some work to the bike and discovered it has gear drive cams. Chrome front end, wheels, buckhorn mini apes, tuner mounted in the right side cover, V&H dresser duals, etc.

It's been a great running bike for me. Just has a little bit of lean ping to it when I really get on the throttle. Before I go down a rabbit hole, would like to know what's been done to the engine internally.

You probably already knew this, but the vin traces back to a Craigslist ad for this dealer.

I believe you can get a title history on the bike.
