Positioned in Harley-Davidson's custom - cruiser motorcycle lineup, the 2006 Harley-Davidson FLHRS Road King Custom utilizes a 1442.2 cc (88 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, maximum torque reaches 116.6 Nm (86 lb-ft) at 3,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 95.3 x 101.6 mm (3.8 x 4.0 inches) with a 8.9:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FLHRS Road King Custom measures 341.1 kg (752 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 663 mm (26.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,613 mm (63.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 18.92-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.47 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 346 km (215 miles) between fill-ups.
