Looking at a 2005 FLRPI At a good price but it lived for 2 years under a tarp what are the problems I need to look for .:small3d023:
 
Hopefully the gas was drained out of the tank, if not drain and refill with fresh fuel and a couple oz of seafoam before you try and fire it up. Changing all fluids would be a wise idea asap. Think about pulling the plugs and adding a little oil to the cylinders and crank over (without plugs) to make sure everything is free.

Check for free movement of the brake pads front and rear.
 
I'd change out all the fluids and battery, check for rust everywhere (including inside the gas tank), dry-rot on all rubber and corrosion on electrical connections. I probably wouldn't ride if the tires on it have sat on the ground soaking up the Tennessee rain for the last two years either.
