2004 Harley Davidson Road King FLHR Service Repair Workshop Manual PDF
VEHICLE/EQUIPMENT INTRODUCTION:
The 2004 Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is a modern classic that captures the essence of American motorcycle touring heritage. The Road King features the iconic solo saddle look with detachable windshield and chrome nacelle giving it a hardtail appearance while providing full modern touring comfort and reliability. It was equipped with the legendary Twin Cam 88 1450cc air-cooled V-twin engine delivering the signature rumble and torque that Harley owners expect.
Harley-Davidson Touring platform reached an impressive level of refinement by 2004. The Road King shared its robust frame and suspension architecture with the Electra Glide and Street Glide offering riders the legendary reliability of the twin-downtube frame with isolated engine mounting to reduce vibration at highway cruising speeds. The 5-speed transmission provided relaxed RPM at interstate speeds making cross-country touring comfortable and sustainable.
The FLHR has always held a special place in Harley lineup as the motorcycle that looks like the classic panhead-era machines but rides like a thoroughly modern machine. For 2004 it featured Electronic Sequential Port Fuel Injection ESPFI delivering reliable starts smooth throttle response and improved fuel economy over the earlier carbureted models. Combined with the massive aftermarket support and the knowledge of any Harley mechanic this platform has become one of the most beloved motorcycles in history.
