If you have the spacers in the proper places, the rear wheel is where it should be as far as "centering" goes. Not all wheels are designed to be "centered". On a Softail, there is an offset but I'm not positive about your road king.

Now, if you're talking about the alignment of the rear wheel in the swing arm, the RK has the adjusters on the rear of the swing arms's arms. Measure each bolt and when you get the proper belt tension with both bolts being the same length, you're aligned. The way I do it is move the wheel forward until the belt is too loose. Then set the lenghts the same. Then by turning each bolt the same amount each time, I slowly bring the wheel to the rear until I get the correct belt tension.

Good Luck
Steve

What battery do i fit to replace the old one on a 2005 Harley Davidson Road King Custom?

I'd recommend replacing with a Harley-Davidson AGM battery. They are very good batteries and competitively priced.

What does it mean: FLHRS/FLHRSI Road King®

Alphabet Soup is what it means! F = Big Twin Frame, L=The 16" front tire and 41 or 39 mm forks, H = performance package(back in the day at least), R = Is for the Road King Model, S = Sport model Road King, I = Fuel Injected. Now quick note HD also likes to mix things up a bit to keep everyone on their toes, thus the Quest for Logic in Alphabet Soup.

I have a 2005 road king with wire wheels. I just noticed a slight wobble in front tire. very much like when a tire tracks on pavement grooves. is this a road problem or tire/spoke problem?

If you can get the front wheel off of the ground, spin the wheel and check the tire for the wobble, check the axle for looseness, and the rim to see if it is bent.
