1987–1993 | A stripped down Electra Glide without the "Batwing" fork-mounted fairing or Tour-Pak with a simple windshield. The Electra Glide Sport was a precursor to the Road King. It was relaunched in 1981 as the Sport Electra Glide and in 1983-84 had an Evolution engine and a new chassis. In 1987, it had the Tour Glide's all-in-one console for its instruments, and a different nacelle. |

The 1999–2008 used the newer Twin Cam engine and had a lower seat height. The Road Kings also came in a 'Classic' version with wire spoked wheels (FLHRC-I), a factory custom version with different leather saddlebags and a small chrome windshield (FLHRS-I) and an even more customized Screamin' Eagle edition (FLHRSEI). |
FLT Tour Glide | 82 cu in (1,340 cc) | 1980–1996 | Introduced a new touring frame with rubber-mounted engine, five speed transmission, steering geometry with a low rake angle and the fork mounted behind the headset. The Tour Glide had a frame-mounted fairing. |

Ultra Electra Glide electrical system was standard, allowing plug and play additions and communications. Electrical system from the Electra Glide Classic was used beginning in 2000, with expensive upgrades available, communications upgrades requiring the radio be returned to the factory. The Road Glide has become the preferred touring model for customizing but started off with slow sales and was never available in every country that offered the Electra Glide series. |

From 1996, fuel injection became an option, denoted -I, before being adopted as standard equipment. |
FLHX Street Glide / FLHXS Street Glide Special | 88 cu in (1,450 cc) (2006–2006) 96.7 cu in (1,584 cc) (2007–2012) 103 cu in (1,690 cc) (2012–2016) on the Street Glide Special (2014–2016) (103–110 cu in (1,690–1,800 cc) on CVO only) |
2006–present | A stripped-down version of the Electra Glide, the Street Glide is mechanically identical to the Electra Glide series machines but comes with a chopped down windscreen, no front fender trim, no Tour Pack, and a lower rear air-adjustable suspension. The Street Glide still retains all of the creature comforts of the Electra Glide bikes such as a Harman/Kardon sound system, cruise control, and optional ABS and security. A "Street Glide Special" version, designated FLHXS, was introduced in 2014 with the security system and ABS made standard, a Boom! Box 4.3" (FLHX) or 6.5GT (FLHXS) [with Touch screen and GPS] infotainment system, manually adjustable upgraded rear suspension, trim (including gloss black inner fairing and pin striping), and paint (some different colors between the FLHX and FLHXS). 2014-15 models of the FLHX and FLHXS incorporated the changes brought forward by Harley-Davidson's Project Rushmore[1] |
