Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR)
The Harley-Davidson Road King (FLHR) has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 86 hp and weighs 377 kg.
Introduced in 1994 as a nostalgic re-interpretation of the 1950s FLH Hydra-Glide, the Road King combined full touring hardware with a quick-detach windshield and chrome nacelle headlamp instead of a frame-mounted fairing. It became Harley's definitive 'bagger' for riders wanting hard luggage and long-haul comfort without a batwing fairing, running through Twin Cam 88/96/103 and Milwaukee-Eight 107/114 eras.

구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Rubber-mount and Twin Cam eras
1994-1998 Evolution models are collectible but vibrate more and have weaker brakes; 2009+ touring-frame bikes handle far better, and 2017+ Milwaukee-Eight versions add noticeably more torque and less engine heat. Check for the quick-detach windshield, bag latches and original keys, as these parts are expensive to replace.
Cam chain tensioners and heat
Twin Cam 88/96 engines (1999-2006 especially) suffer from wearing spring-loaded cam chain tensioner shoes that can destroy the engine if neglected — look for a hydraulic/gear-drive conversion. Also check for rear-cylinder heat soak, leaking primary or rocker gaskets, and cracked or weeping exhaust studs; early Milwaukee-Eights had some hydraulic lifter and oil-cooling complaints.
Fluids, belt and brakes
Service intervals are every 8,000 km with three separate fluids (engine, primary, transmission); use the correct Harley-spec oils and keep the 68-tooth final drive belt tensioned and free of stones. Budget for tires every 12,000-16,000 km on a 380 kg bike, annual brake-fluid changes, and periodic checks of wheel bearings and the rear shock preload air/adjusters.
