The Harley-Davidson FLHTC 1340 Electra Glide Classic is a timeless touring icon that embodies the essence of American motorcycling. For the 1989 model year, Harley added refined touches to create the Ultra Classic variant.
Key upgrades included fairing lowers and wind deflectors on the fairing to enhance rider comfort and reduce buffeting. Electronic cruise control was introduced, allowing riders to maintain a steady speed with ease. The addition of an intercom system enabled seamless communication between the rider and passenger.
A state-of-the-art 40-channel CB radio with digital tuning ensured clear communication on the open road. An 80-watt four-speaker stereo and tape deck rounded out the premium audio experience, complete with separate controls for the passenger to enjoy their own soundtrack.
The result is a motorcycle that masterfully balances engine character with refined amenities, creating an unparalleled riding experience that continues to captivate motorcyclists around the world today, solidifying its place as a legendary touring bike of all time.
