I have an 03 RKC and from recently having some maintenance done on it I would suggest you inquire at the seller
if the rocker box upper & lower gaskets have been replaced as well as the inner primary seal and shift shaft seal.
Plus the above mentioned things as well

My point is, there are bikes available, understanding that everyone’s situation and comfort level are different.
i for one am not comfortable having a used bike dropped at my door. Id have to do some kind of pre buy inspection myself.

I have always figured if I am going to drop a few grand the location is insignificant.
There are many options of getting the bike to you.

Fair enough, and I would do the same.

I am simply offering that there are options. If there is nothing in the buyers immediate area, fitting what the buyer is looking for, maybe they expand their search to a couple hundred miles from home, drive to and from in a day, or look nation wide, whatever they are comfortable with.

If this particular 2003 RK is what the buyer is looking for, and they confirm that all the big ticket issues or concerns have been well taken care of, and they can work out a deal/price they are happy with, cool! If not, there are more bikes out there - nothing to be worried about at all.

Ride on

I bought an 03 last fall. Unluckily I didn’t know about cam chain tensioner issue until AFTER I bought it. Great bike IMO

This is my2003 Road King Classic. Its not new, the bank/HD still has paper on it. Would I like a new one? Most everyone would but this is mine, done my way and it goes like a b**ch. You can do a lot with the older ones and they still have some soul in them. Vance and Hines True duals, 4 inch SE Street Cannons, Power Commander 5 w/ Autotune, S&S 510 Cams, Tank Lift Kit etc etc., and a ton of bling. Oh yes, the girly streamers just tp **** people off. Hail to the KING Baby.

Get you some floorboard fringe and do something with that mess of stuff under the tank. Good looking bike but the mess under the tank would kill me.

Jshopes, there is nothing that can be done with whats under the tank. The bike is Fuel Injected and there is no place to move that stuff too. I put a 2 inch lift kit on the tank so that more of the motor is defined and believe it or not, it runs cooler now too. The tanks on that year of king is too low stock. This gives it a bit more of a beefier look. Trust me you don't notice Fuel injection and throttle control when you are standing in front of it as I was bent down when I took the pic, but thankyou for the suggesstions. I don't know about the floor board stuff, though.
