I'd be fine with no more than 500cc for zoom-splats, 750 or 800 for standards & dual sports, 1050cc for liquid-cooled and 1450cc for air-cooled cruisers and tourers. All should be governed, attempting to remove the speed limiter should result in the ECM bricking and the bike being useless.
Wet weight of a Road King is almost 150 lbs less then you stated. Correct weight is 814 LBS wet/Road Ready.
