Default Upgrading and have question

I looking to upgrade from my 05 883c to a 01 road king. Its a very clean bike and has just over 32,000 miles. Is their any thing I should look for before buying? It has a few upgrades like tach, clock, air temp gauge, slip on mufflers and grips. It also has a new front tire. They want $11,500 otd. Would that be a decent price?

I can't offer much help on the value of the bike. It does seem a tad high on the price but I am no expert. However, I do know this is the near years when folks talk about cam chain tensioners and I think the cam bearings. Be sure to ask the folks on here about those items on a 2001. You'll be happy moving up to a RK. Let us know how is goes.

Your zip code for a carbed FLHR shows $10,500, an EFI FLHR shows $11,375 and an FLHRC $11,000 so I'm gonna guess that it's the injected model. Ask if they inspected the tensioners.

It is a carbed model. Which Im kind of happy about but F/I would be nice. They were asking $10,500 before all the other fees and garbage. I will have to ask about the tensioners. They said it did just have the 30,000 mile service.
