History
The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Harley-Davidson FL page on 6 June 2017, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.
An unfaired version of the FLH Electra Glide, known as the FLHS Electra Glide Sport, was available from 1979 to 1982. An unfaired FLHT Electra Glide reintroduced the FLHS Electra Glide Sport name in 1987. In 1994, the FLHS Electra Glide Sport was replaced by the FLHR Road King, which continues to the present day.
For the 2009 model year, Harley-Davidson redesigned the entire touring range. The changes included a new frame, new swingarm, a completely revised engine-mounting system, 17-inch front wheels for all models except the Road King Classic, a 6 US gallons (23 l; 5.0 imp gal) fuel tank, and a 2-1-2 exhaust. The changes result in greater load carrying capacity, better handling, a smoother engine, longer range and less exhaust heat transmitted to the rider and passenger.
