I had been looking for a Road King I could afford and ran across this one posted nearly 5 hours away. I contacted the seller and hit the road.
The bike had been owned by a man now disabled and had been sitting in storage for several years. It needed some elbow grease to clean
up but I am very glad I found it!

Welcome from Atlantic Canada. If possible, can you share a closeup pic of the doo-dad on the top of the front fender please?
It almost looks like Indian Head from an Indian Bike. (sorry, don't know the correct term)
(or is it an eagle head?) My old eyes can't see it-LOL
Very well preserved bike indeed !

Welcome to the forum ! 
I rode Kawi's for most of my years as well . It was only 3 years ago when I landed my Rk Classic , love it . I do a lot of traveling , so I decided to change out the rims and bags , but I still do favor the look of a classic , enjoy many miles .

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
