The Harley-Davidson FLH Electra Glide is a true icon of the 1960s motorcycle scene. Its 74-cubic-inch Panhead motor, with its distinctive rocker-arm covers, powered big Harleys for nearly two decades.
With an electric starter and a 12-volt electrical system, this bike marked a significant step forward in terms of modernity, yet it still retained a kickstarter for traditionalists who preferred the old ways. The choice between hand or foot shifting added to its versatility, catering to both new riders and loyal Harley enthusiasts.
The result is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, making the 1965 Electra Glide an irresistible period piece that showcases Harley-Davidson’s commitment to evolution rather than revolution in bike design.
