What was 1st year for a 6 speed trans on Road King?
I realize a 6 speed is a great feature, but the 5 speed would be OK on the interstate, wouldn't it?

I think it was the same year for all of the bikes that got the 6 speed 2007.

6-speed trans first came out in 2006 on Dyna models.

Interstate is the one place you might actually use 6th gear. My 5sp works fine up to about 120

6-speed is an 'ok' feature, not a great one. IMO. The frame change for the 2009's was a much better feature/improvement.
What others have said: 5-speed works just fine.

2007 they switched to TC 96 and 6 speeds and no more carbs. Use 6th all of the time It is total BS you can't use it below 70 as some say. I still have a bike with a 5 speed . can go any where I want with it. 6 speed is better.
