Hey guys...I’m the guy that sold you this Road King! Times are better and I’ve bought another one. Thanks again for helping me when I needed it. God bless.

[HemiVic]

I’ve owned four Harley’s! My first was a 1997 Sportster, second was a 2002 Electra Glide Standard, third was a 2003 Road King Classic, and today my current bike is a Gun Metal Blue 2003 Road King! I love the 2003 Anniversary Road King! The 88 Cubic Inch motor is more than enough power for me! I don’t care for a fairing or radio! To me, a radio distracts! I want to be able to hear the sound of nature around me! I simply love to take a nice ride! There is no better bike than the Harley-Davidson Road King!

I put over 60, 000 miles on my 2005 RK classic and I loved that bike. I had to give her up because of arthritis in my hips and feet; I had trouble moving her around. Last year, I bought a Sportster because sitting out good weather is freaking hard but I hated the Sportster. This year, I'm looking at a small Suzuki or something similar; I can't sit another Summer. I don't think this guy gave you a whole lot of info on the ride but I can tell you this; you can ride them all day and never get sore or tired. Those seats have got to be the most comfortable seats ever. They are awesome at cornering, I had mine easily scraping the foot beds even on slow speeds. I took her on the Dragon's Tail (US 129) in Tennessee and had a ball. And, one more thing...I would put some Vance and Hines on one. I had those on mine and damn, it sounded good. I truly believe you need some noise on one because it will get attention of those damn texters. Have fun! If you see an older woman out there on a Suzuki or Honda this year, don't hold it against her that she isn't on that nice Harley. I have to get back on two wheels and some of these foreign bikes only weigh 400 pounds or less.

I bought a 2005 roadking last year with 40k on it, it was already up graded with the screaming eagle 95 kit, s&s gear drive cams and also has a batwing fairing and tour pack, they also replaced the leather bags with hard bags and painted everything to match. also has cruise control. So it looks like a ultra classic but in 5 minutes I can convert it back to a roadking. I have already taken a cross country trip on it and I love it.

I have a 2001 RK classic love the bike too. Has to be the most comfortable bike I've ridden . I switched the front wheels with fat daddy spokes and the rear with a 10 spoke chrome rim. I had the original spokes loosen up and put me into a severe wobble, other than that I've had 17 years of pure pleasure ridding this bike. I have ridden from the East Coast to the West Coast and back four time on this bike with no problems except for a few flats through the years..The Mustang seat was built for the RK you couldn't ask for a better seat.

My 2006 Road King Classic racked up 85, 000 miles on the stock cam chain tensioner. I upgraded it to hydraulic, not because it was shot, but just because I wanted to.

[seanmartin]

Have a batwing and lowers on mine...we take long trips on mine and I'm done with getting fatigued by wind and weather...dont notice a difference on hot days

I bought a road King because of the price. I wanted a street glide. I love my bike! So glad I have it. I ride it like it’s a smaller bike. It’s comfortable on long trips and still maneuverable in town.

1994


For the  model year Harley-Davidson replaced the FLHS Electra Glide Sport with the FLHR Harley-Davidson Road King. The original Panhead-powered FLH Harley-Davidson Electra Glide was introduced in  and takes it namesake from the model's electric starter. keep up the great work!

I'm on my 3rd Road King, a 2014 Police, FLHP that I bought brand new while working at a dealership. My 1st King was a 2000 model with an 88 bumped to a 95 with gear drive cams and Mikuni carb, it was a Beast. My 2nd was a 2005 Road King Custom trade in the dealer didn't want so I got it with 112, 000 miles on it, cheap, it was bought new there and also previous owner gave me 100% of the maintenance records, it's still going and never been apart except for the addition of gear drive cams at 77, 000 miles when the tensioners went bad. I've owned every H-D model and keep going back to the King.

Why do people feel the need to rip on someone’s choice of motorcycle type. There are so many different types of bikes because people like different things, who the WTF cares what somebody else rides, as long as they are happy with it, F###off if you don’t like it.

[whocares]

I love my 2005 Road King. I added a detachable fairing, tour pack, hard bags, Rinehart exhaust, screaming eagle 6 speed transmission, rims, floating discs aaaand air horn. Made it into a dresser. I love my added items.

[equalopportunityoffender]

I own a 05 Road King Custom (88 Twin Cam EFI). I have the gear drive for the cam issue / Stage 1 Kit. I'm 180 lbs and this bike hauls me through the Colorado mountains with no issues (plenty of power). I have no need for a 6th gear.

[silentmajority]

I have a 2008 road king classic...bought it new... great bike. The only thing i changed was the handle bars.

[fatguy]

I'm pretty sure the Road Kings came out in 1994, I had a 1995 Road King and have had 4 Road Kings, presently I have a 2016 Road King & I love it, they're Great Bikes, I enjoy Your Videos.

[timothymoes]

I bought my Road King in 94, 1st year. Only changes I ever made aside from adding some chrome, was to open the jet cause it seemed like it was always starving for gas, and make the bags quick release instead of bolt on. Less than 18k miles original and up for sale on Craig's list this week.

I'm an original owner of a 2003 Road King Classic in Silver and Black. The bike is awesome, I've lived off the bike on a cross country road trip for a month and was very comfortable. I did the cam chain tensioners at 40K. They looked to have normal wear. I think that this way overblown. I had AMS in TX. do their machining on the cam plate for increased oil flow and I think this is a good upgrade. I added a S&S 509 cam, and a Dynojet Powervision map by Fuel Moto and it's a noticable improvement. I added the Glide-pro stabilizing system with motor mount, RaceTech gold valves and Progressive Heavy Duty fork spring and serviced the rear shocks with heavier oil. I switched the brake fluid to DOT 4 and the front brakes feel much firmer. I'm so much happier with the bike now that after test riding a new Milwaukee 8 Road King, I wasn't impressed enough to buy one.

I bought a 2011 RK with 1900 miles on it. Seems as if most are buying Road glide or street glide these days. I love the fact that I can tour with the shield or cruise locally without it. Thanks for the great review.

[robw]

I took a 2017 Road King 107 around California 6 months back with my good lady. It's a gorgeous looking bike, really nice to ride as well.

[houndsmanone]

09 Road King Classic (FLHRC). Only has 26k miles and runs smooth and strong. Drove to Sturgis in 2012 without a glitch (3, 698 mile round trip). Fun ride....scenic. Enjoyed your video and comments by fellow bikers.
