2013 Harley-Davidson Road King FLHRSE5
In 2013, Harley-Davidson is offering the Road King as a Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) model.
The 2013 H-D Road King CVO, which features the Screamin’ Eagle Twin Cam 110 V-Twin that produces 118 ft. lbs. of torque, will be available in two standard colors – Burgundy Blaze and Crushed Sapphire. And for an extra $1,000, the Road King CVO in Anniversary Diamond Dust/ Obsidian with Palladium graphics, which is highlighted with special 110th Anniversary accessories.
Besides featuring the largest displacement V-Twin offered by Harley, the 2013 Road King CVO also arrives with the Vented Wind Splitter windshield, and the first audio system ever offered on a Road King.
The new detachable Vented Wind Splitter windshield was developed by Harley-Davidson and tested in the Wichita State University wind tunnel to relieve low pressure behind the windshield and significantly reduce buffeting at the rider position. A vane within the vent should be adjusted to match air flow to the rider’s height.
The first factory-installed Road King audio system includes a 200-watt amplifier and an interface module for an included 8GB Apple® iPod® controlled by buttons on the handlebar. The system drives two 5×7-inch speakers with bridged tweeters located on the saddlebag lids, and two 5.25-inch speakers with bridged tweeters mounted in the fairing lowers.
The CVO also features the new Assist & Slip Clutch Pack that provides a slip feature on downshifts to reduce loading of the driveline. A new internal design significantly improves the life of the clutch pack in test cycles. Hydraulic clutch actuation has been updated to reduce lever effort; peak force required is reduced by 10 percent and hold-in force is reduced 17 percent. Finally, a new clutch lever shape reduces reach and optimizes lever control.
And like all 2013 CVO models (Breakout, Road Glide, Ultra Classic Electra Glide) models also feature electronic cruise control, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), the Harley-Davidson Smart Security System, and a new indoor/outdoor storage cover with CVO logo.
The 2013 Harley-Davidson Road King CVO will be limited to approximately 3,650 units assembled at the Harley-Davidson Vehicle Operations facility in York, Pa.
