Stay away from the 07. New model trial year.
The gearing on 07 and 08 are a bit too high, not on the 09.
The 5th gear on many 07's whine, not on the 09.
First complaint of heat issue was 07.
First serious crank issues 07.
All these issues can be addressed of course, or you can buy the 09.

A 2007 RK Custom in that color is a good find and the price/ miles are good. The beach bars are great, bike has the chrome rear pegs and is factory lowered 1". The Custom is a Streetglide without a fairing, they are great bikes and somewhat unique. The other Roadking is a "dime a dozen bike", but cant say if it is a bargain without knowing the miles. The 2009 and newer FLH models do have several upgrades ove r the 2008 and older FLH's, such as rerouted cooler exhaust, redesigned frame, larger rear tire and a couple other items. The 2007 is not "cat" equiped which is a plus. With my owning a 2005 RKC and knowing the bike I would buy the 20o7 Custom for that price and low miles and good color.
