Harley-Davidson has unveiled the Road King Special,
which replaces the chrome from the standard Road King with moody black. The
windscreen from the standard Road King is ditched, and nine inch tall ape
hanger bars have been added for more attitude in black.
The Road King Special’s engine guard, handlebar and
hand controls, mirrors, turn signals, engine covers, air cleaner cover,
exhausts and exhaust shields also feature black surfaces. Chrome only remains on key engine components – the
lower rocker boxes, pushrod tubes and tappet blocks.
The Road King and the Road King Special both use the
new 1750 cc Milwaukee Eight engine, which offers 10% more torque over the
previous engine and a much more refined ride and smoother throttle response.
The Road King Special will be available in four
colour options; Vivid Black, Charcoal Denim, Hot Rod Red Flake Hard Candy
Custom and Olive Gold. Prices start at £ 19,995.
