For 2012 the base Road King got the Twin Cam 103 as standard, adding capacity, an oil cooler and noticeably more low-down pull over the old 96. The rest of the package carried over from the 2009-on touring chassis: detachable windshield, hard saddlebags, air-adjustable rear shocks and Brembo brakes. ABS was optional as part of a security package.
