2004 Harley-Davidson FLHRS/I Road King Custom

FLHRS/I Road King® Custom Model Overview
Brand new in 2004, the Road King Custom is taking the Road King family even further in the custom direction. Taking cues from our customers, this exciting new model is a leaned-down and dressed-up version of its Road King brethren and is certain to generate excitement. Now within the Road King family there are three models to choose from, with the new Road King Custom leading the way in contemporary custom styling. Lowered rear suspension, pullback “beach bars”, clean leather saddlebags, and an overall “smoothie” theme will make this bike a hit with custom lovers around the world. The Road King Custom offers wicked good looks and a dose of attitude, while still retaining the comfort and and road-worthiness that Road King enthusiasts expect. The Road King Custom has roots tied to the 1978 FLHS Electra Glide “Stripped” model and captures that lineage with its FLHRS designator.
