Oh, and if you do go for the moped, get a Vespa 300. You can do highway speeds on those. lol. im sure it will be a big difference between the Road King and my last bike, 1990 FXSTC, vance and hines longshots, S&S super E and 15" apes. plus it only had the 80 inch.

well have it down to two FLHR's. one is a 2007 and the other 2013, both black and look identical. $11000.00 and $15000.00. one 88 inch and one 103 inch. seems the 2013 would be the best bet. both about same mileage.

I have a 2013 ultra with 27,000 miles on it. First of four bikes I've had that has never been to the shop for anything but routine maintenance. At 1,000 miles I had some mods done and it's been flawless.
The front wheel bearings suck in all the models. Just change them when you have the tire changed.
Get the 2013. New frame, bigger motor, etc....

I have a 2013 Flhrc and love it. I have had no issues besides a set a defective tires replaced under warranty and the bag lid springs broke. I will admit the ABS is a bit odd in the front when you hit stutter bumps, feels strange. It's like the abs thinks the bumps is the tire losing grip but it's not enough for me to worry.
I only have 15k in mine and just a stage 1. Enjoy!

Nice ride hotrod! On the owners manual, you can go to the HD website and click on the Owners tab. You can enter your VIN and download a copy.
You get the OEM shield also? Or just the batwing?
