Road King FPF

Hi. I'm looking at a 2009 Road King. The model on the title is "FPF." The owner says it is a customized police model. What can you tell me about the FPF model?

That was really helpful. Thanks
It is a 2009 Road King Shrine for California.

Do you think $9,500 is a good price? It is spotless with less than 10,000 miles.

It is a 7500 dollar bike, the "Shriner" package means nothing to you, CA just means there is additional emissions BS involved

The economy is in a crater, the used bike market is about to be flooded, it is going to make 2008 look civil.... over priced toys with loans on them are the first thing to go when the money dries up. If you have CASH there are going to be better bikes out there soon, personally 2013 is the newest I'd go.

I love my 09 King I bought it in 2016 with 17,000 on it for 10,500.

I would think with everything going on you could get it for 8k with that kind of milage.

Curious why 2013 is the newest you’d go?

As far as I know the CA bike might have a cat converter on them, and possibly a vapor return canister. Neither really affects performance, and the cats are easily deleted. Other than that there are some folks that hate CA. What can you say? I too, would like to know why nothing newer than 2013?
