It's easy to design your own unique Harley-Davidson Road King with the Customizer tool at the Harley-Davidson website.
While many people love the stock Harley-Davidson Road King, others find it a perfect canvas for their artistic vision. Before setting off to spend your money on parts and accessories, do your design homework in front of the computer. Harley-Davidson's Customizer tool is not only fun, it gives you the opportunity to explore all the options available to modify your existing Road King, or build a brand new one.

Click on the color of your choice from the color boxes under the Road King photo on the right-hand side. Click the small box under the Road King photo on the left-hand side when you wish to view the reverse side of the motorcycle photo.
3. Review the "Categories" section at the bottom of the page. Determine which changes you would like to make to the Road King model, keeping in mind your budget and taste preferences. Choose from the following categories to modify your stock Road King model: Bags and Luggage; Decorative Collections; Electronics, Gauges, Consoles; Engine Components; Exhaust; Foot Controls; Front End Components; Hand Controls; Racks and Backrests; Screamin' Eagle; Seats; Wheels & Sprockets; Windshields. Decide which category to view first and click on it to reveal either one or several photo options. Click on the photo option you are interested in viewing. Read the description of the option on the right-hand side of the page. Review accompanying notes such as "Important Information" and "Other Parts in Collection." Click on the "Install on Bike" button if you choose to add the option to your Road King model. Your change is immediately reflected in the photo. Continue choosing options, or move on to the next category to repeat these steps to build your own unique Road King.
4. Click the "Add to Workbook" button if you have created a profile. Click the "Save" button. Click on "My Garage" in the top navigation and click the Road King link in the body of the page. Review your completed Road King accessorized with your choices. Scroll through the list of accessories you have added, which are listed on the right-hand side of the page along with the prices of each accessory, or click on "List View" from the top navigation. Check the prices to determine if the accessories you have chosen are in your budget. Remove options or click on "Browse Online Catalog" to add even more options. If you are buying a new Road King, click "Estimate a Payment" and review the total price with a monthly payment pre-calculated for you. Change any of the fields to reflect different interest rates or monthly payment options. Click on the icons at the top right-hand side of the page to save the bike you created, print a list of the accessories you have chosen, share by e-mail, locate a dealer in your area or shop the Genuine Motor Accessories online catalog for more accessories.
