Road King Plans
I have a friend selling a low mileage '07 Road King Classic. I have a couple of fun bikes, but neither are good for a passenger or touring.
I will likely customize with ape hangers, larger front wheel, lowering paint new fenders, hard bags, etc. It won't be a show bike and will get ridden along with my other bikes, especially when I have a passenger. It won't get a ton miles though.
Should I get the RK Classic and make these mods? Getting a newer, stock model may be more practical and cheaper, but that is not my style.

Go for it!
Go for it! I have a 2000 Road King and couldnt be happier. When solo, I ride without windshield and back rest.....when riding with wifey, I ride with both on. Very versatile bike, plus everyone has a glide.

I always go new when buying a bike. Buying used will allow for more money for mods. But for the Road King I really like the new 2014 Rushmore bikes. Love the quick open latches and such. I dont mind buying new and slowly modifying it. This time around I went with a CVO Onley because it was already done the way I would want it and came with the bigger engine and a ton if other goodies too. Its rare to come across a stock bike thats 90% done like the 14 CVO King was for me. Only thing that sucks is there not a whole lot of room for the fun of mods. Just louder pipes and little things thats it. You will love the K ing tho I can promis you that. Just a great handling bike all around. Especially two up.
