1984 FLT Question
I just purchased a 1984 FLT from a friend. I did it to help him out but now I'm getting excited about it. It has a chrome eagle head on the front fender and the tank sticker has an eagle head pointed to the front. Can anyone tell me anything about the bike. I have never seen these features anywhere. Thanks for your help!!!

The tank decals are stock Harley. I remember those on new bikes when I would go into the dealers and buy parts back in the mid 80s. I had a 1975 Electra Glide that had been repainted and it had those decals on it, which is the only reason I specifically remember them. I don't recall the chrome eagle head.

I would agree that the fender emblem is an aftermarket item as well because a co-worker has one on his 05' Ultra that he picked up from his elderly uncle. Something that I believe the older riders tend to like?
The tank emblem is most likely the decal used in that era as I once had a 81' FLT with a slightly different eagle decal on the tank.
Should be a good ride for ya!

The fender ornament is pretty common around here, I see quite a few. J&P Cycle Fender Ornaments
Congrats on the bike.

Yeah, I was gonna say...the bike looks like an FLHS, known as the Electra Glide Sport. It had a windshield, front and back crash bars, saddlebags, and the infamous 'pod' for the speedo, tach and fuel gauge. Man I loved them pods. I know some folks like to say its not a real Harley without the lope, or a carb, or a kicker, or even iron heads.....but real Harleys had pods.

Beautiful FLHS. The earliest ones came stripped down like in your picture. I think HD started offering them around 1978 or 79 in that configuration. I had a used 1991 I bought. By then they came standard like I described - bags, crash bars, windshield, and the beloved pod. I bought the 1991 used around 2007 because it looked just like the 1990 I wanted to buy new in the fall of 1990 but couldn't get to Vernal UT due to snow. I settled for a new 1990 FXRT in Green River WY. Great bike and I wish I still had it......but no pod! The Road King ended up being spawned from what ran down the Electra Glide Sport's leg.
