2004 Harley-Davidson FLHPI Road King (Police) review from United States of America
"Coolest motorcycle I have ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The only thing I have had trouble with is the starter solenoid. Wouldn't start when it got real hot. Replaced under extended warranty.
General comments?
When I first received the bike, used with 4k miles, I was disappointed. The clutch pulled hard & it "clunked" in every gear. The front brakes dragged when it was pushed and had a howl in the primary. I thought "Harley! Is this the best you have?".
I changed the brake fluid in the front and lost the drag, adjusted the clutch, changed the cable routing, lubed everything up & basically went over everything.
Now, I love the bike. Quiet, smooth, responsive, and it really is "The King of the Road"
