Harley Davidson Touring Overview

The Harley Davidson touring family of iconic motorcycles is
available in Road King and Electra Glide models, each with their own
characteristic feel, style and appeal. The Road King models feature an
old-time cruiser look straight out of the 1940s and 50s, when big twin
ruled American roads. Electra Glide models include custom fork-mounted
front fairings, like a Batwing with its characteristic style and shape
or a Sharknose fairing and the unusual double headed lamp included with
this fairing.

Harley Davidson’s touring line of motorcycles can be identified by a
few features which are characteristic of the Harley Davidson touring
line of motorcycles, like spacious and ergonomic saddlebags, a frame
with the steering head positioned in front of the forks and a
rubber-mounted engine to reduce the amount of vibration the rider feels
due to the engine. The frame used with the Harley Davidson touring line
of motorcycles was totally redesigned in 2009, along with the swingarm,
and a six gallon tank and Brembo brakes were also added.

For 2010, Harley Davidson’s touring line of motorcycles are the
Custom Road Glide and Electra Glide Ultra Limited models, along with
new editions of the Harley Davidson Road King, Road King Classic,
Street Glide, Electra Glide Classic, and Ultra Classic Electra Glide. 
New features on the 2010 Harley Davidson touring line up of motorcycles
includes a new helical-cut 5th gear on the transmission that makes
shifting smoother and reduces transmission noise, the option for a TLE
sidecar and new seats for most of the 2010 Harley Davidson touring
motorcycles. Specific changes include the 2010 Road King getting a new
Lexan windshield and GTX saddlebags and new Lexan air deflectors, GTX
saddlebags and Harman/Kardon Advanced Audio system included with the
2010 Ultra Classic Electra Glide.
