The seller provided a detailed walk-around video:
Introduced in 1994, the Road King quickly became one of Harley-Davidson’s most successful touring models by blending the comfort of the Electra Glide with a cleaner, more traditional look. The 1998 model marked the final year of the Evolution-powered Road King before Harley ushered in the Twin Cam era, making it the last chapter of an engine that had earned a reputation for reliability while retaining the unmistakable character of the company’s classic 45-degree V-twin.
Power came from the 1,340cc Evolution V-twin, now equipped with electronic fuel injection as standard. A new nine plate clutch reduced lever effort, while the broad torque curve made the Road King feel relaxed and effortless on everything from city streets to long stretches of highway. Triple disc brakes provided the stopping power, and rubber engine mounts kept vibration in check once underway without sacrificing the signature Harley feel.
Designed to be equally at home crossing state lines or cruising Main Street, the Road King paired a detachable windshield, saddlebags, generous ergonomics, and a low center of gravity into a remarkably versatile package. Cycle World praised its combination of style, comfort, and usability, concluding that the Road King was “a sophisticated, stylish and surprisingly versatile motorcycle”.

This is the last Evo and has all the best attributes of that iconic motor series, and before the troublesome Twin Cam replaced it. Ready to ride to Sturgis!”
