Thumbs up Looking for the prior owner
We bought a 05' Road King Custom a few months back and we know the bike came out of Las Vegas, Neveda. Please see my signature below. The bike is Lava Red Sunglo. If you think you might be or know of the original owner, please PM me.

Maybe if you add a picture it could help. No the dealer should not give out this Info but you can give them yours and ask that he contact you.

I had the same issue with a used bike I bought some years ago. The dealer was able to put me and the original owner in contact. I was able to retrieve the dongle for the Race Tuner installed on the bike from the owner. Made my deal $500 sweeter! Thats the route I would go.

Really no big deal if I contact him, just thought it might be cool to ask him a few Q's is all.
