The Harley-Davidson Custom Vehicle Operations (CVO) team pumps up its wild Screamin' Eagle Road King for 2003 with the biggest displacement engine ever offered in a production Harley-Davidson motorcycle a 103 cubic-inch (1690cc) Twin Cam V-Twin tuned to produce more than 100 pounds of torque.

Based on the popular FLHRI Road King model, the 2003 CVO Screamin' Eagle Road King features a host of exclusive custom features and accessories from Harley-Davidson Genuine Motor Accessories. The heart of the 2003 Screamin' Eagle Road King, however, is the engine created by combining Screamin' Eagle Big Bore cylinders and a stroker flywheel and rod assembly to the standard Harley-Davidson Twin Cam 88 engine. Bore and stroke grows from 3.75 x 4.00 inches to 3.87 x 4.37 inches, while displacement is boosted from 88 ci (1450cc) to 103 ci (1690cc). Compression is bumped up slightly, from 8.9:1 to 9.0:1.

The standard EFI system is reprogrammed to match the increased displacement while retaining the crisp throttle response of the stock Twin Cam 88 EFI engine. The drivetrain is reinforced with a high-performance hydraulically actuated clutch, a custom oil cooler and a high-strength final drive belt. The result is a motor that meets 50-state emissions and sound regulations yet pumps out 100 lb.-ft. of arm-stretching V-Twin torque at 3500 rpm, a 20 percent increase over the stock Twin Cam 88 engine. The engine will be available in silver with chrome trim and is fitted with chrome Touring Mufflers.

The FLHRSEI2's monster motor powers a Road King like no other. Start with the hand-painted Centennial Gold finish with Vivid Black and Burgundy accents and a gold leaf fuel tank emblem. The frame, swingarm and footboard supports are powder coated in matching Centennial Gold and the wheels are solid, bright-polished spun aluminum. The bike is dressed up with chrome and billet accessories, including chrome 1.25-inch diameter handlebars, custom billet-style chrome fuel tank console, chrome billet heel/toe shifter, and Stratum Collection chrome billet timer, derby and air cleaner covers with color-filled script.
