1984 Harley Davidson FLH Electra Glide Special Edition

My beautiful 1984 Harley Davidson FLH Electra Glide Special Edition. 1st year of the belt drive, last year of the Shovel!

[@messenjah71]

I just got my license and my father passed his '84 Electra Glide onto me. Talk about good fortune!

[@bobgibb2781]

It must be the hardest job in the world being a Harley Davidson designer . Your brief : Make it better but keep it the same . There are so many bits on this bike that remind me of my 2012 Dyna !

True last year shovelheads are denoted by the 4-stars punched into the motor. Those motors had evo crankshafts, the models were known as FLHX because the X stood for "Extra" as in using the extra left over shovel parts. When the shovelhead cranks were used up, the factory started using the evo cranks. These bikes were wet diaphragm clutch belt drive drive trains.

I give you Big time props,,, for that sled,,,,...... sweet ass ride

[@jsutton2]

Awesome! Congrats! Ride safe man!

I have a 1984 FLHX Electra Glide Special Edition with Belt Drive and the 1340 Shovel head. From what I can find there were only 467 made - mine is #454. Mine has even MORE Chrome and stock goodies from the original purchaser. I must say that it is not as shiny as yours though... Great job!!

Classy shovel, nice work !

[@bagotoetags801]

So nice! You have a real prize there.

Very sharp scooter!

[@michesgqlledobbiln8928]

Beautiful bike bro!

[@jsutton2]

Thanks!! A lot of the parts were re-chromed in efforts to keep it all original. I also found a lot of misc replacement parts on J&P Cycles. Paint was done locally in Austin, TX (Texas Custom Choppers).

[@jsutton2]

This is a 1984 with a belt drive. Came from the factory that way.

[@frankortiz4881]

That is one sweet a** sled

[@10ampsloblo21]

I owned a 84 fxsb last year of shovel head

[@northerniltree]

This is the true Harley Potato, Potato sound. Newer bikes are more like Rutabaga, Rutabaga...

[@quickbooksguy1]

I have a 1984, also. In the process of restoring to original. Need help with saddlebag mounts and how they bolt on. Would you please send me picture of the their saddlebag brackets with the saddlebags removed so I can mount mine correctly? Would also love an inside pic of the right side saddlebag.

[@keith3516]

My dad bought this exact bike brand new. I'm going to restore it too. where did you find parts and info? Great job by the way!

[@bufflake]

I have one too. Someone said below that there were only like 400 plus made....neat. I bought a 77 AMF sportster new in 77 and ended up buying this 85 from a farmboy up in north dakota.. i have always had to explain this bike to HD shops or aftermarket guys when I go to get part....especailly pipes. you have a nice set of straights but how do i score a set of non-stock pipes but not straight...straights attrct too much attention from the "heat" for me. Also, where are these 4 stars...

[@joshhart6588]

What exhaust pipes are you running? Did you remove the baffles? I am trying to find something decent for my shovelhead!

[@kylebogart4458]

What front faring is that?

[@alvarovoos7292]

Evolution motor ? Don't have passenger seat ?

[@whip-its_dad4239]

My 1982 is belt drive ?

[@martinwall7297]

yass umm that's purdy

[@richardhier4681]

Shovel head😀😀😀😀

[@tommyomiller]

1985 is the first year of belt drive.. 1984 was the last year of shovel and the first year of Evo. I have one of each.

[@tikkabrno]

I just bought a 1984 FLHS Electra Glide Sport that's original with belt drive. What makes you say only in 1985 belt drives were released?

[@alansmith231]

Should be elevator music.
