2007 Harley-Davidson Road King �€" Full Custom Bagger Build with
Twin Cam 96, Red Powder-Coated Frame, and Chrome Billet Wheels Why
This Car Is Special The 2007 Harley-Davidson Road King sits at an
interesting crossroads in Milwaukee's history. This was the first
model year Harley introduced the Twin Cam 96 engine �€" a
displacement increase from the outgoing Twin Cam 88 �€" along with
the new 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission. Both upgrades were
significant. The 96 cubic inch (1,584cc) V-Twin delivered more
low-end torque than its predecessor, and the sixth gear gave
highway riders a noticeably more relaxed cruise. Harley also added
electronic sequential port fuel injection (ESPFI) across the
touring lineup that year, retiring the carburetor on these models
for good. So the 2007 Road King is not an arbitrary starting point
for a custom build �€" it represents a genuine mechanical upgrade
year for the platform. What you're looking at here is not a
dealer-spec Road King. Someone put serious time and money into
transforming this motorcycle into a full custom bagger. The red
powder-coated frame is immediately visible between the charcoal
body panels, and that contrast runs throughout the entire build �€"
red anodized footboards, red contrast stitching on the seat,
red-ringed speaker enclosures built into the extended saddlebags.
This is a cohesive, thought-out build, not a collection of random
bolt-ons. The Road King was always a strong platform for this kind
of work because of its classic fenderline and long, flat tank �€"
the proportions work well when stretched and slammed into bagger
style. This one has been executed with enough attention to detail
to make that clear at a glance. Features List - Twin Cam 96 cubic

powers this 2007 Harley-Davidson Road King was a meaningful step
forward for the touring platform. Displacing 96 cubic inches �€" up
from the 88 that had been in production since 1999 �€" the engine
produced increased torque right where a loaded touring bike needs
it, in the low to mid RPM range. Harley paired it with the new
6-Speed Cruise Drive gearbox, which allowed for a taller sixth gear
and reduced engine RPM at highway speeds compared to the 5-speed
units it replaced. The belt final drive remains one of the cleanest
and lowest-maintenance setups in the industry, requiring no
lubrication and offering a smooth, quiet power transfer. The ESPFI
system replaced the carburetor that year, and the difference in
cold-start behavior and throttle response is real and measurable.
This bike breathes through a custom air intake that sits
prominently between the cylinders �€" visible in the photos with
its open-element design �€" and exhausts through chrome headers
that have been part of the custom treatment. An external oil cooler
has been added to manage heat, which is a practical addition for a
bike running in Florida's climate and a sensible upgrade for any
Twin Cam that sees regular use. Stopping power comes from front
disc brakes. The digital gauge cluster replaces the analog
instruments and gives the rider a cleaner, more modern read of
speed and engine data. Interior The riding position on this 2007
Harley-Davidson Road King custom is defined by the ape hanger
handlebars, which raise the grips significantly ab
