Great video. The 1977 FLHS Electra Glide Sport was the fairing-less FLH and it was replaced in 1994 by the FLHR Road King. It was a separate model from the original Electra glide but still continued to use the FLH moniker. Also getting the FL designation was the FLST Heritage Softail that mimicked the original 1949 Hydra glide now on a Softail suspension instead of the rigid (hence the replacement of the 'H' with an 'ST'). The FL designation as a 'Frame, Large' nomenclature was abandoned and for a time became the identifier of the traditional 16-inch front wheel and big flared fenders. Even more confusing, it seems the motor company changes their letter designation meanings as time has gone on. The FL meaning has been abandoned with the introduction of larger wheel diameters and some sources quoting that 'F' in FL designates the engine size instead of the actual model line.

Traded in my 107 RGU for a 114 Blacked out RG Limited, absolutely love the 114 and the Blacked out look. Just did my 5k service, I already had the stage 1 screaming eagle package and I went added the stage 2 HD Torque Cam, what a huge difference in performance and sound. The stock 114 runs great with plenty of power, but with the stage 2 Torque Cam it runs so much stronger, and gives those screaming eagle slip on mufflers an extra deep throaty sound. Great package i'd highly recommend it.

I own a 1999 ( FLHTCUI) Electra Glide Ultra Classic Injection . I love the looks and it being fully dressed out. That said, due to age and physical limitations I’m removing the tour pack since I ride solo, (throwing leg over is more difficult now, hips don’t work like they used to) and other bits and pieces so i can reduce weight. I think the younger generations still believe the ultras to be OLDMAN bikes. And thats why the Street and Road glides are more popular. The electra glide has had a phenomenal run! The pinnacle of touring bikes. But, as with all things, change is inevitable. Long Live The Electra Glide....!

I am 47 and I prefer the Ulita limited. I think aside from it’s resemblance to police motorcycles, it is a very nice bike. As for chrome or blacked out, I think it’s a mindset. Twenty years ago some people were paying for the option to get chrome wheels on their cars and not deliberately blacking out their car rims, but astonishingly today people with sometimes purchase aftermarket products to black out their rims, so l think it boils down to wanting to go with a trend. Ideally, maybe a mixture of both is the best option, but if choosing between the two, my choice is chrome for a motorcycle as luxurious Electra Glide.

Just got my first Harley ever from Calgary Harley Davidson (don't worry, it's definitely not the first bike I've ever owned). A 2015 Electra Glide Ultra Limited - her name is Ruby. Beauty of a bike, and we love it - had no idea how well balanced an HD is! Kind of cool to know it's the last year it's actually called an Electra Glide, and where the Electra name came from, so thanks for the history lesson! Cheers Matt

Thanks Matt. Enjoy the videos. I am 53 and just bought my first Ultra LTD back in Nov. I have had a total of 8 Harleys over the years (2 Street Glides, 2 Road Kings, 1 Road Glide and 2 softails and now the LTD). I still have 1 softail and 1 Road King. For me, it was time to move into what I believe is the ultimate touring machine. I ride 10k + a year and wanted a bike with lowers and a matching tourpack. Was never fond of those things in my earlier riding years, mainly due to looks but after putting 300 miles on the 18 LTD, I can appreciate the extra wind deflection the lowers provide as well as the additional storage of the tourpack. Both things enhance the riding experience, especially in colder weather. I also think this bike looks good with the tourpack on it. It just fits. As for chrome or black, I like that HD offers the choice. I think the costs should be equal but I also understand the upcharge. I have powder coated a few things on my 18 LTD and I think its just a matter of what you prefer. Lastly, to this day my 2012 CVO RG is the best riding bike I have ever had. However, the new RG fairing is not as attractive as the batwing style though I do think Harley is doing the right thing by offering both of its flagship touring bike styles with the LTD features.

Blackening out to remove some chrome, stretched bags/rear fender, razor tour pack. It was just a better buy for me on limited funds vs the street glide. I do love the ride and handling so I'll be completely happy when I'm finished soon!

I have a 2014 Ultra Limited and love it. Everything in the fairing is within easy reach vs the street glide. Personnel preferences is what keeps H-D in business. After years on a low rider the Ultra is great for longer trips. Still enjoy my low rider for day trips.. Being an older rider I prefer the chrome look on my bikes. The black out looks good and is probably easier to maintain but nothing makes a bike pop like chrome.

I had no choice but to remove the original Magnetti Morelli fuel injection from I due to obsolescence, it actually runs better without it though. I agree with you that the Road Glide is a great bike, especially for taller folks like myself.

Personally, for me, I like the factory blacked out in certain colors, like the orange or the white bikes. Most other colors, give me the chrome, because I'll always be old school like that! Currently ride a 05 Electra Glide Classic, FLHTC. Getting ready to put cams in her, and by her I mean Ruby, her name. Getting cams and a new cam plate to upgrade the tensioners, yes, still have a bike with the old spring tensioners. Ruby has 31K and they are worn about half way through. Already has the big bore putting her up to a 95 CI. Why the previous owner didn't do the cams and upgrade the cam plate and tensioners, I have no idea. But, next week she will be getting the upgrade. With 31K she is still holding great oil pressure, 32 pounds at idle. Thanks for the video, always liked the dresser Electra Glide!

My first RG was an ‘09 and back then it was the red headed step child in the touring lineup and I rarely saw another on the road. Now over half the touring bikes in my AO are RG models once people finally realized how great it is for customizing and long distance touring. And oh yeah, chrome is eternal while black is a cyclical fad like it was in the 80’s. Nice to have choices 👍

The “Bat wing” fairing introduced in 1969 as a removable fairing was actually Harley-Davidson’s rendition of an aftermarket fairing brand called the “Wixom” fairing. The RoadGlide (fixed) fairing is actually a descendant of the aftermarket fairing commonly found on early model Honda GoldWings called the “Vetter” (brand) fairing. The Grandaddy of the RoadGlide so popular today was branded the TourGlide that was introduced in 1979 as a 1980 model year. It was a matter of preference if you liked the look of a more bulky, fixed front fairing that didn’t turn with the front forks and appealed to the Japanese touring bike riders, whose selection of models were rapidly expanding in the Japanese bike sector, or the sleek and curvy stance of the bat wing fairing that bolted onto the front forks and trailed the steering of the bike. Your choice.😊❤

Well I learned a lot from the beginning. I just bought my first Electra Glide and I love it. I'm 63 and this is my third Harley. It's a 2005 Screaming Eagle 103, two tone candy cherry red. Only 5000 miles on it. So smooth. I think the blacked out bikes are best along the coastal areas to help fight rust. I've had that problem in the past with chrome. I keep both of my Harleys IN my house with AC & Heating. I prefer the older model Harleys. Too much new electrical shit on the new ones. (not to mention the outrageous prices)

Matt, great job with your history! I have a 1985 FLHT that came from York with an extremely rare Radio caddie on it and a volume control on the left hand side of the bars. Check it out on KZbin when you get a chance, its 100% original and unmolested. You should also consider doing a fixed fairing version of this nature. Those versions started with the Liberator Harley Davidson made by Vetter then the Tour Glide models and finally the Road Glide models. I gotta confess, those first Vetter Model bikes were EXTREMELY hideous looking but in my opinion they're historical in nature and I've never seen one totally restored. Again, great job! I love my 1998 Road Glide!! If you needed a candidate for your 1998 Road Glide model feel free to steal my 95th anniversary Road Glide video also on KZbin.

I’m still loving 🥰 my 2017 Limited in Chrome with the Milwaukee 8 107 after 11K miles ! I’m not a fan of the blacked out newer versions with no heel toe shifter , no bag liners , & only one Key 🔑 Fob. I’m going to stick with this bike & might do a 131 Screaming 🙀 Eagle swap & upgrade the Infotainment system to the newer one! Harley says it can’t be done ✅ but I know it can as people are doing it all over with the adapter kits being sold !

It can be done without the adapter kit. There is a new part number for the radios and now they are backwards compatible to 2014 as long as you are replacing a 6.5" unit. Check the Harley Boom Audio website. Ride safe!!!!

Everything you listed can be added to the newer bikes. A lot of people take off the heel shifter and never use the second key fob so why include them? I also recommend a fuel moto or zipper performance engine kit since you don’t have a Powertrain warranty anymore.

Jacob James I enjoy using all of those items listed especially the heel shifter. I’m under warranty to 2023 as I bought the extended warranty when purchasing my bike. After that I’m putting in a Screaming Eagle 🦅 131 long block!

Hi Matt the first unofficial year of the 103 was 2003. A custom built twin cam high performance engine with CNC heads, six speed transmission and crankshaft etc. It is an anniversary Ultra Classic. The engine was built by Peterson and Harley in Dekalb Illinois. I have this model and year and done a lot of research to find out the history. The paint is pearl blue white and loaded with many, many options. I love the Ultra Classics.Thank you for the video

I've had both the bat wing and the glide over the years, and while the bat wing looks very nice. I have just falling completely in love with the road glide performance.

Matt, MoCo should’ve released a RG Ultra Limited years ago. It’s about time the Shark-nose is finally getting some respect from Harley, remember the factory did not offer a 115th anniversary edition in any of the RG models in ‘18. Understand why they now offer a black finish option, but think the price upgrade is too high..but can’t fault them for that since they are a business and they have to make profit. I’m a chrome guy and upgraded from an ‘11 RGU to a ‘17 Special, but now it looks like an Ultra Special since I added lowers and a TP..hey had to make it my own, lol

I don't understand the rationale behind not making a 115th Anniversary Road Glide either, ESPECIALLY when they made a 95th, 100th, 105th, 110th anniversary model previously! In addition it was one of their best sellers at that point in time. You can thank Matt Levatich for that...

Ultra Limited gets my vote. I own a Electra Glide Ultra Classic Low and love it. An excellent review Harley Davidson models through the last years! Great content.
