2000 Road King

I posted this on the softail forum just cause I have a Heritage and wasn't thinking that the Road King should be posted here. I found a 2000 Road King that had been sitting in a metal building that was used to house golf carts at my local club. It had been there for 5 years. It has only 3800 miles, has a bore kit installed, custom paint, soft leather saddlebags and tour pack with Corbin seats, and just about all the chrome you could want. The sweet part is I picked it up for $5000.00. I thought that a lot of the chrome would have to be replace, but after working on it all weekend, I have cleaned it up pretty good, and most of the chrome is OK. It runs fine, but has an electrical issue that I can't seem to diagnose, so I am taking it to the Harley shop next week so they can figure it out. Otherwise, all I can say is I am one lucky son of a gun to have run across this baby, here are some before and after pics. Before pictures at http://sumrell.smugmug.com/Motorcycles/Road-King, and after working on it all weekend: http://sumrell.smugmug.com/Motorcycl...ing-Cleaned-Up.

Very nice bike.
I recently picked up a 2000 Road King with 2930 miles however I paid almost twice as much.
What kind of tour pack is that?

Nice purchase.
From the photos I'm guessing your wife is into feeding the birds and won't notice when the UPS guy starts showing up with goodies to bring her back perfect.
