The FLHR Road King provides timeless Harley-Davidson styling with riding comfort of a Touring chassis now featuring the Twin Cam 96 engine and 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. Locking, weather-resistant hard-shell saddlebags and a large, detachable windshield help resist the elements. A two-up touring seat, air-adjustable rear suspension and footboards enhance the experience for the rider and passenger. The large, clear-lens Hiawatha headlight and clear-lens auxiliary passing lights, console-mounted speedometer and a deep skirted FL front fender provide a commanding presence on the road. Ten color options for 2007 include four two-tone combinations. FLHR Road King features

aixiz_cycles (2) - Posted on 01.15.2007 I purchased a 07 FLHR and love it so far. Finally a 6th gear to reach for. Went to the tall boy seat (I’m 6’1") which I find to be acceptable. The oil temp was running at 230+ during break-in, now at 500 miles its generally about 205. I don’t like the mounting for the windshield - it seems like nothing holds it on. Additional problem - the aux lights connector keeps coming loose with vibration - recommend that you tie wrap it.
sparky (6682) - Posted on 11.30.2006 an update. talked with harley tech department the other day and they recommended running "redline" syn lube in trans. redline makes a heavy duty schock treatment gear lube that is made specifically for big twin 6-speeds. should quieten 5th gear down. i have ordered and will advise on results
(6682) - Posted on 11.28.2006 glad i found this page. i have a 2007 night train with 1350 miles on it and fifth gear "howles". manuel says shift to 5th at 45mph. huh??? seems to not howl as much if i shift at 55+. seems to be worst if i shift around 50 and roll onto the throttle. i just wind 4th to 55-60m mph, shift to 5th til 65, then go to 6th..
dirtdigler (6682) - Posted on 11.23.2006 Bought a 07 Softail Deluxe. Thought 5th sounded strange as well, worse if you were lugging it. Dealer explained that 1st and 5th are square cut gears and will sound different than the others. Sound in 5th is minimized it you shift according to the manual.
Jerry (6682) - Posted on 11.20.2006 I bought a road king in june 2006. I had it serviced at 1000 miles and 5000 miles but then it started really bad vibrations at 70 mph and between 30 and 40 mph, like riding on a cobblestone street. I had it checked out by 3 mechanics at the dealership who said they couldn’t find anything wrong. I paid too much money for this to be happening, which it shouldn’t. I have had 5 motorcycles and this is the worst riding bike I have owned so far. Any suggestions for a smoother ride?
Yen (6682) - Posted on 11.15.2006 agreed! 5th gear on my 2007 softail standard sounds like metal pieces are inside the engine, a big disappointment indeed. the worst is - the dealer said is a known problem by harley can’t fixed it!
(6682) - Posted on 11.6.2006 Just Bought the Road King SE. the bike is great. had a Deuce This bike is by far the better bike. 400 miles and no problems rides smooth the 6 speed is great. don’t need 6 gear till over 65 but is nice . Great gas millage and it is not even broke in . The seat just like all harleys so had to buy the mustang.
Greg (6682) - Posted on 10.23.2006 just wondering what the bottom line is with the six speed trans. is there going to be problems like the dynas had
