Harley-Davidson released the Shovelhead with the 1966 Electra Glide. It boasted an aluminum head with a different shaped combustion chamber and rocker arms attached to the rocker cover instead of to the head itself. The Electra Glide was a serious long distance tourer with a top speed just under 100 mph. A front disc brake was a welcome addition in 1972 and even at a hefty 738lbs the quarter mile time was a decent 15.42 seconds. The first Classic FLH appeared in 1977. This particular example has 20,474 original miles and has been completely gone through within the last 4 years and 4,000 miles. The engine was completely rebuilt during which time it was bored .030 over. During the same time it received all new lines and cables. It was repainted in a gorgeous Metallic Green about 10 years ago and it still shows great. Within the last 2 years it received new spoked wheels with wide whitewalls, new chrome 12” bars, new brake calipers and rotors, new fork seals, new bearings and a variety of new chrome covers. It is fed via an S&S carb and it sounds incredible ripping through its newer performance exhaust. It has been serviced every 1,000 miles since being rebuilt and everything is working as it should. In the last 4 years close to $15k has been spent on rebuilding and reconditioning this beauty yet we are barely asking half of that. It is priced fairly so if you like this bike reach out before someone else beats you to it!
