Cross roads, journeys, landscapes and long courses on the handlebars of a Harley. At this idea, the amateur naturally thinks of the Electra Glide. A little taste of nostalgia, a desire for retro, the feeling that time has forgotten to scroll, and it is quite naturally the Road King who intervenes. Two interpretations for the same purpose – fairing and hard cases on one side; windshield and leather saddlebags on the other. A custom carved out of American nobility, designed to go as far as the wind can blow. Now he is taking advantage of the Rushmore project to optimize the experience of the road.

Rushmore is the result of gigantic listening to H-D with its customers and dealers. They want more practice, more comfort, more engine. The Road King’s twin benefits from a few improvements, including a new camshaft. Renamed Twin Cam 103 High Output, the big mill is supposed to develop 5% more torque. At maximum, its value is 14 mkg at only 3500 rpm The air box improves the style and breathing of the 1690 cm3.

Like all models in the Touring range, the Road King is equipped with the Reflex braking system. Combined with ABS, it automatically balances the power of the brakes between front and rear. This isn’t Harley’s only effort to improve the dynamics of this machine: the fork increases its diameter from 43 to 49 mm. The suspensions are readjusted towards more softness.
The lighting is now entrusted to a double halogen, spitting an output of 986 lumens. On the practical side, note a set of quick couplers to easily open the saddlebags – convenient but not very qualitative these plastoc clips under beautiful leather straps. Still for the sake of comfort, new, more ergonomic controls are installed on the handlebars..

Barded with these improvements, the Road King Classic makes it possible to measure itself with the authentic escape. The saddlebags, a little larger with the Rushmore Evo, agree to carry the essentials. The large removable windshield lets you instantly choose the caress of the air or the tranquility. Air suspension is standard, allowing you to match the suspensions to the on-board load. Also standard: cruise control, long running boards, a twin-spoke selector, 16-inch spoke rims with whitewall tires, and heavy Rican metal throughout. Now take a look at this bike again: you don’t feel like showing it every state in the West ?
