Great paint.............I bought mine used too, black was my second choice, as no red ones around at the time.

Handlebars have been changed, but thats the only changes from stock that I could find.
Well.......... that will be an easy fix .

Great bike. That color combo is beautiful and rather unique. Remember seeing it in the showroom in '09 and thinking how it sttod out and how classy it looks. Don't think HD kept that combo beyond '10, so you won't see a lot it.

Think you got a good one there. First owner put 6K/year on it & had it serviced properly. You were smart and went for a bike with ABS! You also used your head and opted to trailer it home insted of pushing your luck on the day of purchase.

Hope you have many miles of safe riding ahead of you. Welcome!

Congrats and great choice of bike. Love my King as I know you will yours. The 96" is a great engine and sounds nice stock. Even better with the pipes and you will eventually get there. For now, just enjoy the heck out of it.
