Introduced in 1994, the Road King is a nod to the 1940s FL that confirmed the huge success of its predecessor – the EL and laid ground for the introduction of the FLH in 1949 followed by its evolutions. Denominated FLHR, the King of the Road appears as one of the brand flagship models featuring hard bags, windshield and retro headlight to keep a look as close as the Big Twins from the past. Apart from 2008, the model got its wheelbase stretched to 63.5 inches, the fuel capacity bumped to six gallons and received new triple-disc Brembo brakes. In 2012, the FLHR logically received the latest version the brand mighty V-twin – the new 1690cc Twin Cam 103. It is also to be noted that the model is the base of Special Editions for the Fire and Police Department.
This Billet Silver Road King is a rare example of a machine that manages to pull off the look of both appearing retro and modern at the same time. Showing only 2,744 miles on the ticker, the bike shows well and appears to have been well kept cosmetically save for some tape residue on the tops of the saddle bags. Keep in static display for the last several years, recommissioning is recommended prior to active touring.
