What a question. Are you looking for new or used? Any budget limitations? Any color preference? What kind of mods are you interested in? What years are you finding up for sale in your area?
Myself I think you ought to get whatever year they made the black ones.
definately the road king with hard bags i had an 06 with leather bags and wasnt real pleased with them. soft no lock ect and in the future if you want a radio all you have to do is buy a detachable after market faring to match just my .02
Agree with the RKC. Can't beat the look of spoke wheels, and that cruise control comes in handy. Bags are a subjective thing. Personlly, I much prefer the shape and appearance of the leather bags, plus it's easier to clean the rear wheel/tire with removables.
really depends on you, what you can afford and how you plan to ride. I "traded up" from an '08 Fatboy to an '03 Road King Classic. I really like the silver & black paint with the leather clad bags.
