This photograph is of another machine. The first Electra Glide model, introduced in 1965, retained the "Panhead" engine developing approximately 55bhp. Riders of the new model appreciated the ease of starting that the electric start brought, but noted a loss in performance due to the increase in weight. Harley Davidson remedied this deficiency the following year with the introduction of a revised engine featuring "Sporster" style cylinder heads. Nicknamed "Shovelheads" the redesigned engine offered approximately 5 bhp more than its predecessor restoring the Electra Glides performance to Duo Glide levels. Little changed on the machines until 1970 when the generator was replaced by an alternator. It is interesting to note that a hand change variant of the Electra Glide was still available for police use as late as 1972! Handlebar fairing (part).
This 1970 FLH was restored to a very high standard during 2005. it is finished to an excellent standard in brown and cream and equipped with a number of custom accessories in addition to the expected panniers, handlebar fairing, driving lights and fender trims. The condition of the engine is described as being excellent as are the cycle parts and the transmission and electrical system as being good. Offered with a US title and C and E 386 demonstrating that it is VAT and duty paid it is a real head turner.
