I prepare to eat a mountain of ****.
Have loathed Harley’s for years. And have been very vocal about it. But the wife wants to tour two up. And this was $6000. Comes with spare tank and fenders, enough stuff to put on eBay that I can maybe make a grand back,
Looking at getting a sidecar.

I like the Road King (sans lever tassels). Remove the windscreen in hot weather or snap it on for cool or wet riding. But get ready for helmet buffeting. Adding lower deflectors to the front forks helps significantly. What year is that?

2005, 16k miles. Note the howling wolf paint job.
I have low expectations. But the wife won’t tour with me on the Ural or the bmws. Strangely not as much leg room as my old victory. May need a different seat.

You’ll need some assless chaps and a clip on earring. Why no skulls? Kidding, of course. The RK is a nice bare bones touring bike. If it’s 2001-2005 you may want to have cam chain tensioners checked or upgraded.

I’ll tie a rope to the back so I can tow your skateboard.

Am told it’s a factory option. “Only 100 made”. I feel special. Going on eBay next week.
Again. I have low expectations. Where is the bottom of the market on these things? If I turn around and sell in a year I won’t lose that much. I hope.
