2017 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King
About the 2017 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King
The 2017 FLHR Road King is Harley-Davidson’s classic-style full-dress touring motorcycle with detachable windshield, saddlebags, floorboards, and a Milwaukee-Eight 107 V-twin. It was the first model year for the Milwaukee-Eight engine in the Road King line. Compared with earlier Road Kings, the 2017 model added the new engine, updated front and rear suspension, and revised exhaust/heat management.
What Makes This Trim Special
- Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine — New for 2017 Road King; replaced the prior Twin Cam-era engine in this model line. (Other 2017 Touring models using the Milwaukee-Eight 107)
- ABS optional, not standard — Harley-Davidson noted ABS was standard on most 2017 Touring models but remained optional on the Road King. (Road King, Street Glide, and Road Glide models)
- Classic Road King touring equipment — Detachable windshield, one-touch saddlebags, floorboards, heel/toe shifter, and tank-mounted speedometer. (Road King family)
- Cast aluminum Impeller wheels — 2017 Road King used cast wheels rather than laced wheels. (Road King base trim)
Likely but unverified:
- Chrome 2-1-2 exhaust — 2017 model literature describes chrome dual exhaust with tapered mufflers.
