Default Thinking of trading
I know a guy that wants to trade a 2000 model Roadking with 45000miles.
For my 2004 Softail standard if I add $2000 to the trade.
What do you think? Any help?

How many miles on your bike? I personally wouldn't do it unless I really wanted/needed a bagger

I agree with the others. Sounds like a bad deal for you.

At 45K miles, that RoadKing will probably be in need of some pricey repairs.

What is the repair history of that RK?

In the end its your call, but your softtail is worth more. If you really want a bagger shop around.
