Hey people! New member, Just wanted to shout out and say Hi. I recently picked up an 04 police road king, And was looking for info about whats the 1st and 2nd most common issues that I might keep an eye (or ear) out for. My 04 1200C was a little rattaly in the top end when at full operating temp, I know a little loose is good, But a valve train shouldnt make you wonder if you lost a couple qts of the blood, So hello and Happy Stuff to all...........
