That's a damn fine looking Road King. It looks like you did well. Especially with all the extras.

Congrats

Biggest problem I had with mine was every couple of hours while riding, I had to put more gas in it. No leaks, just couldn't find out where it was going.,,,

Nice purchase. I turned in my 2003 RKC to buy a 2020 RGS. Zero problems with the RKC. Great bike. Super comfortable. Your backrest will come in handy for long rides.

I did the Screaming Eagle Cam tensioner upgrade and added Woods cams and Knight Prowler lifters. With the lower miles on your bike, I would just change out the cam plate and tensioners and keep the original cams in. Therefore you don't have to press new bearings into the bike. There are plenty of threads about the change. Since you have the service manual, you're halfway there. Have fun!
