2017 Harley-Davidson Road King Special

Black components, a larger headlight nacelle, 'Turbine' cast wheels and the lack of any windscreen distinguish the new 2017 Road King Special.

Those aren't the bike's only identifying features, though. Others include an unadorned front mudguard, 9”-high mini-ape handlebars and a low-set numberplate mount. Completing the look are redesigned pannier cases which visually stretch themselves over both exhausts.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s.
