2002 us the best year to own, IMO....Forged crank and Timken bearing unlike later models, better FI than earlier models.

Great bike, great year! I had on 02 Road Glide and loved it. You'll get lots of miles and smiles I can assure you of that!

'02 was a VERY good year! Like a fine wine, my '02 Ultra just gets better and better.

I love my 02 RKC. I have 34k on mine. I have changed to s&s gear drives with 510g cams. Great upgrade. Watch those tensioners! Mine were shot when I checked at 33K. Good luck!

Love my 02 RK. A little nervous when I bought it at auction a year and a half ago but it only had 10K miles and was cheep. Not a problem with the bike, I have put 10K on it and the bike has runs flawless with just fluid, filter and plugs changed.

Just traded my 03 Deuce for an 02 RK in November. Only had 12K on it and the dealer had always serviced the bike for the previous owner who traded it and a Crossbones for a new Street Glide, so they assured me it was a good bike.

The more I ride it the more I like it. Ready to do some touring on it when it warms up. I need to connect the colored states on this map. LOL
