Harley-Davidson Road King is the king of anything you want to do with a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The Road King can be a tourer, a cruiser, a wild custom, a daily rider, you can dress it up or down any way you please. Road King spans many years with multiple engine options depending on what year you choose. There is a Harley-Davidson Road King to fit any budget and any engine preference. Road King is the most cost effective way to get a Harley-Davidson on the touring platform with an Evo, Twin Cam or Milwaukee 8 in any and every variation you can imagine!

It's yours to ride the way you want, as many or few a miles you want. Pay no attention to what other people think on this subject. I've ridden for nearly 50 years, about 20,000 miles a year. After getting hit by a deer last year and breaking a pile of bones, I had to decide if I would quit riding. I resolved the question when I decided to cut way back on my miles per year. I figure the less mikes I ride, the better my chances. I no longer ride as my main source of transportation after 50 years of doing so, but I still ride. Nobody else answers for my actions except me.

Great video covering the venerable Road King and its history. The Harley Davidson Road King is one of the most elegant, stylish and archetypical Harley Davidson motorcycles ever produced and forever etched in HD's rich history of nostalgic motorcycle designs. The Road King is the personification of a Harley Davidson icon. Road King stands supreme and has no equal. Those select riders who own one are indeed privileged. I have a 2003 Road King Classic, 100-Year Anniversary Edition, with the Screaming Eagle engine upgrade from an 88 V-Twin to a 95 done by Harley Davidson after the bike was purchased new. The instant producing torque and exhaust sound is exhilarating. Some of my recent mods include adding the Ultra Cool Oil Cooler which has turned out to be a great choice. My engine's never been happier. Another mod was adding the Power Commander 6 Tuner and my Dyno Tune shows my horsepower rated at 88+ and my torque rated at 99+. Which suits me for my 03' Road King Classic. My Road King with its original anniversary Two-Tone Sterling Silver and Vivid Black paint colors stands out. The commemorative medallions seen throughout this ride's sculpted design adds to its nostalgia, mystique, and exclusivity.

I bought a used RK Police bike out of NJ in 2001. I loved that bike, and I would say it was the best riding bike I have ever owned. I could ride all day and only stop for gas and something to eat. Of course being a police bike it was made for city streets or interstates and she handled both with ease. I miss the smooth ride it gave even on bad roads with potholes. I do miss it sometimes, but I went for the cruiser bikes after I sold it. If I ever wanted another touring bike, without hesitation it would be another RK!

I talked him into buying all new Harley bodywork painted by Harley and limited to 150 sets Color scheme was flaked purple and gray ghost flames and skulls. His set was numbered 96 of 150. Engine was strong with some Andrews TW 37 cams S.E. heads,etc. I really liked that bike,in a lot of ways more so than my own 2003 anniversary silver/black Electra Glide. Road Kings are good bikes in my opinion.P.S. yes I would like to know more about Rushmore bikes.👋💀

I have a Y2K RCI with the TC88 & MM intake. Paid $10k in 2003 with 7k miles on it. It’s an excellent sled, everything you need and nothing you don’t. I do most of my own wrenching on it, but kept in touch with the main wrench (his name is KnuckleDragger) who uncrated, tuned, & stage 1’ed this bike. He’s been my source all these years. Cam idlers replaced @ 40k miles & they needed it done. Replaced with stock as it was all I could afford at the time. I was ready with the credit card if I had needed to replace the cams, & had put on a Power Commander instead of playing tune-up-to-2 new cams with the MM intake. Never touched the Power Commander & the MM still purrs. Besides brakes, batteries, motor mounts, plugs, and head breather flaps this bike don’t owe me a dime !!! The Y2K was one of the only years with air-ride front & rear, and making the switch between 1-up and 2-up is a breeze. It rolls down the road like a Caddy in a FL Hwy !!! I switch saddles between a HD Sundowner & a Corbin solo and a HD Ultra 2-up when I’m with the ol lady, and add a bitchback for safety, comfort, and slip-on luggage. LOVE THE KING !!!

Know for cracking. Dealership wanted over $200 for it, so I went with a V&H true dual head pipe. Gave it a tune and it ran great. Hated getting rid of it. Other issue was the spoked (or wire lace) wheels. Rear one had some come loose and caused the wobble. Anyways got rid of it because it stripped teeth off of belt. Probably due to issue with the rear wheel.

I have owned two RK; a 2002 RK Classic and a 2009 RK Classic. 02 was an 88 and the 09 was a 96 ci. Loved both of them; I should have kept the 09.

bought a 04 Road King last year, and added the hydraulic chain tensioner from the Screaming Eagle, just last week the compensator was making a noise, so I opened it up to see the nut loose and a stripped bolt on the casing. red lock tight re-torqued it and tapped the bolt with a helicoil. we will see what happens, at least till the fall. other than that I love the King. Back in the 80's it was my BMW all the way, but not anymore, I have learned as I get older that with time things do get stiff in the bones and need to be taken care of, and so does the King, it's not a negative just routine check-up.

Love my Road King, the year was not what i wanted, but what I could afford, but after riding it I love my Road King. It is a 2002 FLHRI Twin 88 it only a 5 speed but was surprised how well it does for 5 speed, does not whine when scooting down the interstate at 85 or 90, but i tend to ride back roads too and it plenty nimble enough to handle our curvy foot hills roads of Eastern KY. I did replace the cam chain tensionerers and had gaskets and seals replaced while in the process.

Finally 😂🤣😂. I'd sell the ol lady before I sold my Evo roadking or my Twinkie road king. Mm system wasn't awful but most didn't know how to tune/tweak it. But Delphi was the way to go accept for carb was best. 2002 best year had Delphi, timken and hot forged crank. As for the wobble thats how you build character, just like riding an ironhead at 100 downhill with suicide clutch 😂🤣😂🤣. Happy 4th and be safe....

I Love my 2001 King! Tons of upgrades too. I’d like to see a video of the Rushmore project for sure!

I absolutely love the Road King! It was my dream bike until I bought my '95 Electra Glide Classic. I still want one though, but since I still have my 883 Sportster, my wife said I am not allowed to have 3 bikes. LOL!!! If I eventually get one, I would strip off the bags and protectors, put a solo seat on it, upgrade the suspension, and ride it as a naked bike. It performs great, looks great, and will last forever! BTW would love to see you do a video on the Rushmore project. Keep bringin' the good stuff!!!

I'm still riding my '94 Rd King. I bought it new in oct '93. I did the top end last winter at 84K miles. Prior to that work the rocker covers had never been off. The crappy cam bearing held up. I have 3 Evo powered bikes. I have no need for anything newer.

Tried Road Glide and Street glide and didnt like them. Tried a Road King and fell in love with it. I dont like speakers and gps and such crap on my bike... Then i might as well drive the car

Talk about a versatile platform to build on: Started with a stock 2018 Road King and added V&H power dual head pipes, neighbor hater slipons, Screamin Eagle intake, S&S 475 cam, cam plate, oil pump, Trask tranny air vent, oil temp dipstick, Jim’s force flow cylinder head fan, Jagg oil cooler fan, air intake breather bypass, tour pack, TPMS, and LED lights everywhere. Wrapped it up with a custom dynotune. The Road King is an excellent choice if you’re a modification type guy

I've had a '08 Road King CVO (too much computer stuff like ABS, big ECM) and a '05 Road King Custom (carbureted 88") and sold them both. I'm after a '03-'07 Road King with cruise control (arthritis in right wrist). The Road King is very versatile being upgrades all over the place no matter what engine. Just think of a sissy bar, luggage rack, tour pack, riders back rest, etc.Al on or off to your riding style.

Went from a 99 wide glide to a 2022 Roadking. I love it 31,000 already. It’s got everything but the heavy fairing. Love the 107 M8.

If I could only have one Harley Davidson, it would be a Twin Cam Road King. A true RIDER'S BIKE! 👌

Gonna keep my 2004 RK carburetted. My TC 88 has nothing to worry but tensioner. Taken care of by regular oil changes and inspecting it every 20.000 km. Ride solid with "semi potato" sound. Love it ❤❤❤. Thx for the video ❤❤❤
