SCREAMIN’ EAGLE ROAD KING RETURNS WITH A VENGEANCE
 

Milwaukee, Wis. (July 14, 2006) - The FLHRSE3 Screamin’ Eagle Road King, reprised for 2007 with more power, more gears and more drop-dead custom glamour than ever, returns to the Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) line after a four-year hiatus. This third-generation Screamin’ Eagle Road King combines classic Harley-Davidson styling with a new Twin Cam 110 engine, 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission and exclusive custom components and paint that make it an extraordinary touring motorcycle.

The Harley-Davidson CVO program creates limited-production, exclusive motorcycles produced by teams of technicians in special assembly areas at the Harley-Davidson plants in York, Pa., and Kansas City. Approximately 3,500 examples of the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Road King will be assembled at the York Vehicle Operations facility. The suggested U.S. retail price for the 2007 Screamin’ Eagle Road King is $28,495 ($28,595 in California).

The Screamin’ Eagle Road King is based on the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King. Custom accessories exclusive to the Screamin’ Eagle Road King begin with new leather-wrapped saddlebags with raised flame patterns on the lid tops and chrome trim on the front and sides of each bag. The same flame pattern is featured on a new custom leather seat, and also on an optional leather-wrapped Tour-Pak available for the Screamin’ Eagle Road King through Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. The new chrome-and-rubber Ironside accessories collection includes hand grips, rider footboards, passenger pegs, Mustache engine guard pads, shift pegs and brake pedal pad. A new flush-mount fuel gauge features LED indicators under a mirrored glass surface that matches the profile of the flush-mount fuel filler cap. A new combination speedometer/tachometer features a spun-metal face. A new tail lamp in the classic “tombstone” shape is exclusive to the Screamin’ Eagle Road King.

The Screamin’ Eagle Road King is powered by the largest-displacement production engine ever offered by Harley-Davidson, the 110-cubic inch (1800cc) Twin Cam 110, a high-performance V-Twin engine that delivers 115 ft. lbs. of torque at 3000 rpm. Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection (ESPFI) is standard on the Twin Cam 110, as is a custom oil cooler with chrome cover, and chrome cross-over dual exhaust with four-inch touring mufflers and chrome billet end caps. The engine is mated to a new 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission for lower cruising rpm in top gear. The powertrain is finished in black powder-coat with chrome covers.

New 18 x 3.5-inch front and 17 x 4.5-inch rear Chrome, Road Winder Forged Aluminum wheels carry 130mm front and 170mm rear tires. Air-adjustable Profile Low rear suspension lets the Screamin’ Eagle Road King hug the highway. The Dual Bulb Halogen Headlamp features advanced reflector optics and separate bulbs for high and low beam functions. Touring amenities include electronic cruise control, the Mustache Engine Guard with rubber boot pads, an accessory power outlet, and a quick-detachable smoked windscreen.

The Screamin’ Eagle Road King will be offered in three exclusive color combinations: Razor Red with Burnt Gold Leafing graphics; Candy Cobalt with Pale Gold Leafing graphics; and Black Ice with Pewter Leafing graphics. Frame and swingarm paint color is complementary with each paint scheme. The Harley-Davidson Smart Security System with Smart Siren, an indoor storage cover with CVO logo, and a commemorative CVO key in a presentation box are also included.
