What is the earliest model (oldest) road king available that I can put the quick detach windshild and sissy bar backrest system on? Thanks.

 

I thought 1994, but check with the dealer.

 

According to the HD parts & accessories catalog it's 1994.

 

Road King was first introduced in 1994 replacing the electra glide sport FLHS. The windshiled on the FLHS was fixed not quick detach but you can use a quick detach passenger backrest on the FLHS

 

The 1994 model was the first year of the Road King.

The parts you want/need should be still be available thru Harley.

I have a 1996 Road King and it has a detachable windshield, a detachable sissy bar and a detachable tour pack. The siisy bar and tour pack use the same front mounting points but require different docking hardware in the rear.

Also, my brother has a 2003 Road King and has used my tourpack on his bike (with the appropriate docking hardware).

Thanks everybody. The wife wants something more comfortable than my fxstc. Im thinking a roadking.

 

Though I really do like my '96 Road King you may want to consider a 1997 or newer model. HD made some frame changes in the '97 model year and certain items are more readily available for the "newer" models (seats, chrome pieces, etc.).

Not that I would get rid of my '96, it's just certain things you have to search for or pay retail.

Forgot to mention: In regards to the tour pack you may want to look at a backrest/armrest system from Mustang. The Mustang set-up has longer arm rests and they are "flat", providing more comfort for the passenger. The HD backrest/armrest has short armrests that are angled downward, causing the passenger to either hold their arms in place or have their arms slip down the downward angle.

As far as recent models go, I believe 2007 was the first year without a quick detach shield... .

 

Huh? they don't quick detach anymore from 07 on? I never heard that...
