Road King wont start
I have a 2007 FLHR with about 48000 miles. I rode it 50-60 miles on wednesday and thursday. I parked it in the driveway for about 2 hours on thursday, and was going out thursday night with the wife. The bike turns over strong but will not fire up. I filled up with gas, pulled the plugs to look for fouling, no loose wires that I saw. Any suggestions as to where to look?

Start with looking for a spark, the new bikes you can not check spark by pulling a plug and leaving the whole empty, best way is to put an extra plug in the hole and grounding the plug or using a spark checker.
If you see a spark then pull the plug and see if you can smell gas on it.
Try that then get back. Diagnosis is systematically checking components to find the one not doing its job.

Check fuel line connector at tank.
Motor will crank forever and not start if the fuel line connector at the fuel tank is not on properly. Pull it off look inside the connector making sure the o rings look good then snap it back on. You can give it a squirt of starting fluid too to make sure it is a fuel issue. If it fires you don't have fuel.

Check all the fuses.
