2004 Harley-Davidson FLHRCI Road King Classic

FLHRCI Road King® Classic Model Overview
The Road King® Classic draws its styling cues from storied Harley-Davidson® motorcycles of the past, including the wire-laced wheels, wide whitewall tires, and gorgeous leather-wrapped hard saddlebags that retain their shape mile after mile. Fender tips and seat valance boast a unique chrome Road King® Classic 3-D emblem for added style.

The Road King Classic combines classic Harley-Davidson styling with touring comfort and features. Standard equipment include air-adjustable rear suspension, electronic cruise control and electronic fuel injection. Also, the improved chassis introduced in 2002 features non-air front forks, strengthened swingarm and improved rear air-shocks for superior ride quality.
