Default “09” rk

Going to look at, most likely buy an “09” standard Road King. Bike is about 3.5 hrs away, no mods except for slip on pipes, black, 10k on the clock, winter price of 8k. Looked at and rode an “03” but it had too many punch list/mystery items for me. Anything obvious that I should look for on this bike? I don’t belive it has been in for the brake recall yet, owner also says he keeps it in a heated garage. I plan on renting a Uhaul bike trailer for the ride up, they seem pretty inexpensive. Appreciate any tips

'09 got most of the updates with the new frame. The throttle module was an issue on some and transmission noise was more than newer ones but neither is a big deal. Still it would have to be a really nice near 10 year old bike at that price for me to buy it. Mine was $10k over 6 years ago with low miles...

Definitely the lowest price for that year I have seen so far, plus its in a snowy state, shorter riding season. At 10k thats only a thousand a year. NADA it was right in the middle of retail. KBB had it just over 10

I had a 2009 RKC and I had no issues other than the brake recall. A tuner would have helped it run cooler but I didn't get around to it. it was a great bike otherwise
