FUN FACTS:
The Harley-Davidson FXE Super Glide is part of the iconic
FX series, widely regarded as the first factory custom
motorcycle, pioneered by Harley-Davidson stylist Willie G.
Davidson in 1971. It blends the agile front end of the
Sportster with the robust chassis and power-train of the
larger Big Twin models, creating a versatile cruiser that
appeals to riders seeking a mix of performance, style, and
custom vibes. For 1982, the FXE had evolved with
refinements like an improved chassis for enhanced handling
and stability, electronic ignition for reliable starts and
smoother operation, and a refined braking system for
better control. Powered by the legendary Shovelhead V-twin
engine, it delivers strong low-end torque ideal for
highway cruising and urban riding. This model year marked
a transitional period, as Harley introduced the
rubber-mounted FXR Super Glide II alongside it, but the
FXE remained true to the original solid-mounted FX
platform with its four-speed transmission and chain drive.
Its significance lies in bridging traditional Harley
heritage with emerging custom culture, influencing later
models like the Dyna and Softail lines. Riders praise its
timeless design, including buckhorn handlebars, a
one-piece fuel tank, and bobbed fenders, making it a
collector's favorite for its blend of
power and simplicity. (source Super Grok AI). |
