2000 RoadKing
Currently looking at a low mile 2000 RoadKing...
After a little research, it seems at though 99 to 01 are years to stay away from due to the fuel injection.
Do I look at it this weekend, or do I pass and look for 02 and above?
Thanks.

Do you have a good Indy? I heard the MM isn't bad if you know how it works.
Switch to a carb if you need to. My friend has 5 Harleys. His '99 FLHT is his favorite. It's carbed.

My 01 RK is carbureted, came that way. some were fi and some were still carbureted. I bought is 4 years ago with low miles and have done many upgrades including 95" motor, front brakes, rear swingarm, chrome wheels etc. I love the bike. Just be prepared to spend a little more money depending on the condition and existing upgrades...

I have a 2000 rk with the M&M fuel injection. I've had no issues it with it at all. Fuel moto did a pretty stout motor build to, still using the M&M with a pclll usb, run like a monster.

1999 Road King with MM EFI, has always ran good. With the PCV fuel and timing programmer it is great. I looked into the carb set-up to replace the EFI because I probably read all the same stories you did but the bike just continues to run great.

As others have mentioned you can always convert to a carb but that is a fairly expensive option. MM fuel injection wouldn't scare me away but if I had a choice to grab a 2002 for similar $ I would go for that.
2003 and up models have weaker bottom ends due to crank manufacturering differences so there's that to consider as well.
