Default Low miles but not for long


Just picked up this beauty with only 3,600 miles. Had a 7,500 miles ‘08 Road King Classic before this. I’m finding it difficult to find parts/accessories for it as it seams ‘08 is the bastard year. Everything is to ‘07 or ‘09 up. Is there an interchange list on the forum or a place I can find one? I found fat spoke wheels/tires from an 09 and I’d like to get a gel seat for the Mrs. Thanks in advance!

Very nice. Had an 08 anny from Aug 07 to Jun 19 when I caved and bought a new road glide. Everyone thought I would never part with my 08. As for finding parts, many seats will say 08 and up. The rear wheels on 09 and up changed in size but you can use a pre 08 by changing out bearings and spacers (25mm began in 08).

Here’s my beloved 08 that I traded
