LOVE and respect it for what it is! The joy displayed on your face after having ridden it in it's current condition was priceless. Too many classics are destroyed today when modified to contemporary TRENDY concepts. Something to really consider.
Thanks mate
I have a 1998 fuel injected Road King Classic with the EVO motor. It has a 121,000 miles on it,has never been opened up and runs absolutely beautifully. The only real issues I've had have been sensors. The cam position sensor, throttle position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The original cam position sensor had the wires locked in by a hard gel like material. This melted at some point, but there's an aftermarket replacement that doesn't use this substance to keep the wires in place. It is ,in my opinion the best Harley-Davidson ever made. No frills, no cruise control..just a great motorcycle. I love mine...as you can tell.
Yes they are a beautiful machine, every time I ride it I come home with a smile on my face
Nothing, and I mean nothing sounds like a Evo. Congratulations to you and Elaine on the new edition to your stable. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the build.
Thanks mate
man !!! what an awesome bike!! I had a Dyna with the 103 engine, rubber mounted (the one that shakes the fillings off your teeth) and never connected with the new M8 engine bikes. I am thinking about getting something old school as well. The smile on your face says it all!
Mate I just love the thing, don’t get me wrong I love my street glide but this is different
Gotta love an EVO! Have fun and be safe!
Cheers mate, yep puts a smile on my face every time
Thank you!!this is the bike of my life!! I have one 18 years....i dont have words .tu cara..ha sido un poema.abrazo desde España!
Thank you
Wow, such a great bike! Old School.......
Yeah mate love it
It's beautiful. I'd leave it just like it is, but it's yours to do whatever you wish. Have fun!
Cheers mate thanks
EVO's are great engines, aluminum heads & cylinders easy to work on, nice bike !
Thanks mate
A true classic! Looking forward to seeing the transformation.
Me too mate
This was almost the last of the good ones. Best HD you will ever own. EVO's forever, FHD Inc
Thanks mate
This is always the most exciting time when you go pick up new bike. ❤
Sure is, the next part is making it your own
I just test drove my (new to me) Road King yesterday. 96 also with only 17000 miles on it. I bring it home on 5/15th. Can't wait. It will be fun watching your channel and progress.
Have fun when you get lt
@@TheHarleyRoadshowHA! How can I NOT! But thanks.
OOOF WHAT A BEAST!! That bike will be a great project!
Thanks mate
Awesome Buy, Cant wait for the build
Cheers mate
Congratulations Paul and Elaine. Gonna be an excellent project, can’t wait to see what you do with her. That sound was was great.
Thanks mate
Can't wait to watch this build pauly
Thanks mate I’m looking forward to it
Always fun having an older bike to play with. Carb is the bomb for the lump
True mate
Nice bike, I almost hate to see you change it. But I guess you have to make it your own. At least I know you won't be changing that beautiful EVO lope. I have a 98 Fatboy that I hit a deer with a couple years ago. I got it back on the road last summer. I sure mist that EVO. I like my Twin Cam Ultra but I am weak and the forces of EVO are strong.
They sound great
I would keep it as is except maybe add the fishtails..nice set of Samson fishtails are always beautiful lol
Sweet! That bike is perfect as it is. It's unique enough already because of the the era from whence it came. I'd leave it alone. You don't see too many unmolested Harleys that old that are so period correct. That's just my take on it though.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching
Love it looking forward to this build, i know it's going to be a good one 🌟
Me too mate
Will be an awesome build!
Should be fun
Awesome mate 👌🏻, looking forward to see what you do with it
Thanks mate
I like the old school look that's why I ride an Indian Chief Vintage.Goo luck with the build.
Cheers mate, thanks for watching and ride safe, I like the new bikes but the old ones just have something about them
Congrats and welcome to our old King world. My 2000 is one of my favorite bikes ever. Don’t forget to check the cam tensioners. Can’t wait to see more
Thanks mate will do
Nothing to check...it's an EVO
@@owenbruce4120 oh….thinking that’s a good reason I take my older bike to a mechanic
Get a fueling vented dipstick...
Factory 47 bars are #1 & love mine, Built to be rid'in NOT hidden ❗💪💪💪
That workshop is looking amazing ♥️
Living The F 🤪 KING Dream
Safe travels 🙏♥️🐾🐾
Yeah I had them on the ultra, these ones a maddoggers
JFC that thing sounds good!
I’ll look good riding it! 😉✌️😉
🤣🤣🤣
That Evo sounds good.
Yeah love the sound
Good luck with your new build!
Cheers mate
Thought you 2 were stopping at the Bakery , I was looking forward to a Pie !! had to settle for a shit Mrs Macs
Lol, ran out of time, not a happy camper
What an awesome find!
Cheers mate yeah very lucky
these older RKs are coming up more and more now still have a healthy price tag
They are beautiful old machines
Congratulations guys, beautiful bike, love Vicla style, I would get a custom seat trimmed to suit you and the bike, goodluck
Thanks mate seat is on the list
just love an EVO 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Me too
It’s a cracker mate 😍 do what you want mate I’m looking forward to the outcome 😎👍🏼
Thanks mate
Had two FXR’s, a 90 and a 94. The EVO and that three point rubber mount system make the smoothest riding bikes Harley ever made. The original Dyna didn’t ride anywhere close to as good as the FXR or the Road King.
Yeah I love it
Honestly, sure, I could smell it on the start. Beautiful
Put a smile on my dial every time
Fn love that HD sound!
I love it as well, I’ve got an M8 which I like but I love the EVO
Cant beat that sound at idol, very nice Paul 👌🏻
I’m in love
@@TheHarleyRoadshow Low idle speed/low oil pressure. Set the idle speed up to 900 for longer engine life. Nice looking bike... my favorite model/engine!
@@atomicwedgie8176 cheers mate
Hello great material very nice filmed ;)
Thanks very much, appreciate you dropping buy and commenting
Literally just picked up a 2000 RK. Sole purpose is to make it Vicla. This is my 2nd bike for the stables. Will be interested to watch. Will be watching where you source your parts from.
Good luck with the build
Good looking scooter there my down under brothers think I will give you a follow.
Thanks mate appreciate it
Can’t wait too see this hopefully at the next mdb life line ride or geelong bike night gonna be sweet!!!

Awesome mate
Congrats..Enjoy mate,I Have an 03 RKC . Love it. I do miss my evo though pity it got stolen 🤬
Dogs
Awesome new bike there Paul, I looked I looked it up on Google and the first road King went into production in 1994 with the last in 1998......Pete from Devonport Tasmania...🍎 🏝 🚢
Thanks mate, I’ll be in Devenport tomorrow night
They still make the road king today. 98 was the last year you could get a Road King with an Evolution engine .. 99 was first year of Twin Cam 88 for the touring bikes, Softails got the Twin Cam 88b in 2000
What a beautiful beast ❤
Thanks
All you need now is an Electra Glide shovel trust me you'll love it
Shovel, pan, I’m going to need a bigger garage 🤣
Mate i have a 97 Vicla had it 11yrs slowly changed it from stock.. You will love it.
Yeah I’m loving it already
@UCUaakBIHQv65vB0FM4wy8Zg cheers mate appreciate it, love the colour
Enjoy. Summer for you. Winter for us. No riding…… for now anyway.
Thanks mate
Love them old EVOS
Pretty cool
I got a 98 road king evo. It’s old but runs amazing.
Awesome mate
That sound!
How cool are they
The sound of a carburettor V twin blows my hair back
Pretty cool hey
$9 for a ham, Cheese, Tomato....and not toasted!!! Nice project. Ride well. Cheers
Bit rich hey, thanks mate
It's in lovely condition, get Romy to wave his magicwand over it👍
Yeah I’m loving it
@@TheHarleyRoadshow 👍👍
No Twin Scam will ever idle like that.
True that
This is exactly what I want.
Puts a smile on my face every time
@@TheHarleyRoadshow I'm trying to wrap my head around the price. Crazy. Wish I owned 10 just to sell a few
nice bike , I bought a new "86 Softail Custom 1340cc , unfortunately sold it 3yrs later ..... cost me $11,986.99 NEW. on the road
Great machine
Nice!
Thanks mate
First off, y'all make me nervous driving on the left side of the road. I'm from the states here in Pennsylvania. Do y'all collect HD dealership poker chips? Anyone interested in exchanging poker chips?
Looking forward to the transformation.
If you want to send them to me I’ll be happy to send a couple back
Love it ❤
Cheers mate
@@TheHarleyRoadshow looking forward to the project

Wow nice road king
I want to know what the name of exhaust
Sorry mate, not sure, it was on it when I bought it and it has no name on it
Well at least you know you made one right choice in life can t go wrong with a 1340 evo f those m8 twin cams suck too lol
Mate I love it
@@TheHarleyRoadshow Awesome stuff snd that’s what matters is aslong as you love your bike but I’m with u I like the older bikes not the newer one can t even hear them as they pass that ain’t a Harley they are loud I ride a 94 eg evo and when I first got her I got my balls busted by my buddy’s I got a old man bike but then when I add ape hangers got newer style seat now they are l8ke that’s badazz that’s sweet can I take it for a ride hell to the no I find adl to ride ur girly sportster or ur girly softail do I is what I say to them lol but anyways very nice bike
Think that's the first year road King.. I think I would keep it stock but it's yours .... getting hard to find here in America ..stock ..
Yeah hard to get everywhere
@Fat Albert 👍🏍️
Thought this was an episode of American pickers at first 🤣
Lol
Looking forward to seeing the finished product love a cholo
Thanks mate
Damn that's a beautiful machine just how it is....don't chop it up man....especially that vicla or whatever that it is.
We’ll have to wait and see, thanks for watching
Hey mate, what Carb have you got on there?
I think it’s Mikuni from memory
@@TheHarleyRoadshow Great carb mate, enjoy your new bike. Reckon you'll look at the newer bikes in a whole different light after enjoying your Evo.
