I am new to the forum, so hi everybody. Here's my question, i am going to be purchasing my first Harley this summer, and am wanting a little input from you guys to help me out. I wanta injected Road King, and some of the ones I'm finding with reasonable miles are police bikes. There is a dealer here in Indy tht has an '04 Police bike for 12K. What are the pros or cons to the police bikes? I know they have a heavy duty electrical system as well as ABS brakes, but how different are the motors, i.e. different cam, computer chip, etc?? I definitely want a King, and really want it injected, but don't want to spend 18-19K fora Classic, which is what I really want!! Anyway, thanks for looking and thanks for any help.
