Well...I am very curious to see where this thread goes considering my Ultra is an '03. Looks like the Road King is in great shape with tons of work done. Nice bike for somebody who might be looking to get in to something that has already had the work done.

 

Yea, he asked if I would check with a group of people who would know the true value as opposed to just listing it.
It will probably end up on E-bay.
Thanks!

 

Kelly Blue Book says $14,850.00, you don't get a lot of mony back on parts added on and considering a brand new 08 is about $18,000.
I would guess you could try for $16000.00-$17000.00.

Looks nicely done!

 

That's the grim reality of selling a bike with a lot of extras. You may get top dollar, but you'll have to find someone that appreciates all that you've done to the bike. The average person will buy new rather than spend a like amount of money on a decked-out bike.

Regardless, that's a beauty.

 

If he really wants to sell it tell him to look at all other roadkings for sale in his area and he'll have to prices his about $2K below the lowest one already for sale

 

Is he interested in a trade? I have an 07 Streetglide I'll trade ya.

 

should be worth about $18,000. Looks to me like your buddy has a hell of a nice bike. Why in the world does he want to get rid of it?

 

Here are some that ran thru the auction recently...

The main reason is that he has several big bore machines and no need for the Road King.
