I considering picking up a friend's 99' RK Classic. What's a good price?

Here's some specs:
99' Road King Classic, Twin Cam 88, lowered, Thunderheader, Power Commander III, Stage I Kit, excessive chrome, new Avon VenomX whitewalls, White Bros Bikini Beach bars with all chrome controls & steel-braided lines, color Vivid Black, stock, solo and Badlander seats, etc., etc. Blue Book for a stock RKC
is around $19K...I'm looking for $22K.

I looked up Kelly Blue Book online and they mentioned $13.5K trade in value and $18.6K retail on a stock unit. Milage is 8800. He is the original owner, but I forgot to see if he has the extended transferable warranty.

Your advice on what maintenance would be needed is also appreciated.

Yes, the bike is exactly what I'm looking for. I don't know what the pipe looks like but I can search for it on the web. I'm pretty sure he has taken care of it. I've known him well through high school and several years after. He has always taken care of his other vehicles even though he used them to their full capabilities. I'm keeping my eyes open since the downturn in the economy, people are unloading cars and the like at decent prices. Perhaps the Sacramento area will yield some bikes.

Thanks for commenting guys. I'm in no hurry to throw down on an impulse. I have a sales background so I will definitely negotiate on the price when the time is right. Now a co-worker mentioned a relative with an Indian Chief 01' with 450 miles with $2500 in customization for 18.5K. Since both these people are not to motivated to sell, I'll keep my eyes open. Who know perhaps a softail heritage will present itself (my real first choice).

Thanks for the enlightenment on the cam issue. I'll follow up on that.
