I got the Profile wheels on my 2005, they were an option for that year.

The old FLH nacelle bikes look an awful lot like the modern Road King. My first bike was a cherry 1974 FLH Police Special. It looked dang close to my 2004 King. The actual "heritage" of the King goes way back to the first bike with the nacelle and dual pipes.
