HARLEY-DAVIDSON CVO Road King (2007-2008) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Harley-Davidson CVO Road King was a factory-made custom touring machine, part of the CVO family that debuted in 1999. The CVO designation came from Custom Vehicle Operations, which comprised motorcycles from every model year, modified for higher performance and better looks.

In 2007, the American motorcycle manufacturer launched the Harley-Davidson CVO Road King, a touring motorcycle adorned with classic-looking elements, loaded with modern technology, and introduced several new features.

The 2007 machine rolled on new Road Winder Forged Aluminum wheels, 18-inch front and 17-inch rear, a new wide rear fender, a tombstone taillight, a flush-mounted gas cap, a colored swingarm, and a new round air cleaner cover with custom inserts.

Besides its new accessories, the CVO Road Glide packed the same classic appearance, with its small, round headlight, medium-sized windscreen, teardrop-style fuel tank, side-mounted panniers, a dual exhaust system with mufflers on each side, and passenger and rider backrests.

As for power, the massive Harley-Davidson CVO Road King touring machine took its muscles from a 1,800cc air-cooled Screamin' Eagle Twin Cam 110 engine, with a fuel injection system feeding both pistons, offering smooth power delivery and 156 Nm (115 lb-ft) torque at 3,000 rpm.

As for handling, the 2007 Harley-Davidson CVO Road King packed a 41 mm telescopic fork on the front and dual air-adjustable shock absorbes on the rear. The stopping power was achieved by a triple disc braking system, with two 300 mm discs on the front and one 300 mm disc on the rear, all coupled to four-piston calipers.
