"The Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide marks a significant era in the Motor
Company's history. The name Duo-Glide was a play on a previous
model, the Hydra-Glide, which was produced from 1949 to 1957. The
Hydra-Glide was fitted with a hydraulically damped fork, a big
upgrade from spring only front ends used previously. The Duo-Glide
name denotes that this model has both front and rear suspension."
American Rider, Nov. 2024
For consignment, a 1964 Harley Davidson FLH Duo-Glide motorcycle
showing 22 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This bike has
been the recipient of a frame up restoration and complete top and
bottom end rebuild of the motor.
Exterior
Hi-Fi Blue paint adorns the fenders and gas tank of this classic
bike but the color does not stand alone. On the tank, it's layered
under a white cap and pinstripe and of course, the Harley Davidson
badge of each side. On the fenders, the blue is accented with bold
edge trim pieces in polished chrome and a Duo-Glide emblem on the
fronts. The windshield adds a nice complement with a translucent
blue lower half, above chrome tubed engine guards the protrude and
gives the bike visual width. All of the external metal is polished
to a diamond like shine, especially the pan shaped valve covers
which have a subtle Harley logo engraved in the center. Chrome
exhaust pipes terminate with flared vertical tips while the wide
leather spring loaded saddle is perched ahead of the nicely matched
fringed leather and aptly named saddle bags.
Functionality
Up front, an easy to read speedometer with single digits is houses
in a chrome faceplate flanked by polished gas caps. Simple
handlebars are accompanied by a only a single push button on each
side. 16-inch chrome wire wheels both wear drum brakes. A single
headlight with fog lights and amber markers present a bold face up
front while triple red lights in back include the brake light and
red marker lights. A pair of license plate red reflectors add even
more visibility and color to the back.
Drivetrain
A 73.66ci V-Twin is on board which has been rebuilt and now houses
an upgraded cam and an S&S Super B carburetor. The 4-speed
manual now has a Pro clutch and provides power the rear wheels
through a chain driven configuration. Dual exhaust leave the block
in style and the legendary suspension is comprised of hydraulic
Duo-Glide up front and swing arm with twin shocks in back. The H in
the bike's name indicates high compression.
More from American Rider: "The 1964 model was the last year before
the addition of electric start and is therefore the last year of a
4-speed transmission design that dates all the way back to 1936.
This naming convention would continue with the 1965 version of this
bike, dubbed the Electra Glide to denote the addition of electric
start."
This '64 presents in near pristine condition and will be a crowning
jewel in your Harley collection, even if it's a collection of one!
"The 1964 model year was the last of the kick only Big Twins. Just
being able to push a button to start your motorcycle was a big
technological leap and made Harleys more accessible to new riders,
but it fundamentally changed the riding experience."
