Default 1983 FXDG Twin Belt Wide Glide

hello ,
i would like to post a new thread featuring the 1983 FXDG Twin Belt Wide Glide, these photos are a combination of FXDG's that I've found on the internet, some that were for sale & others that are from FXDG owners that I'am in contact with who I met through this Forum. I would also like to invite other FXDG owners who might see this thread to post comments or photos of their FXDG's if you like . . .enjoy !!





First, a photo from Willie G Davidsons's personal Wide Glide that was used to create the "Special Edition Twin Belt Wide Glide . . .

a photo of a production FXDG "FX Disc Glide "



these next 2 photos are from the H-D Archive collection . . .



as you can see, these Bikes are highly detailed for a normal production models, according to Harley Davidson only 810 were produced ! The 1983 FXDG's also featured their own VIN# designating them from the normal Wide Glide's " 1HD1BG x x x . . ."

& these last few photos are of FXDG's from other Forum members that I've met through this Forum . . .

Randy-FXDG's Disc Glide from summer 2020. . .

from Gas-Can's post back in 2009 (as i can tell he only posted 1 time )

from Gordon F. in Australia right after he got it home !

Tom B.'s FXDG, he's looking for some original FXDG parts to replace some chrome parts that were changed out from the original owner !

This FXDG was a good example of an unrestored Original condition with only 4500 miles on the odometer, it was not presented very well & was not serviced before the photos for the auction were taken, the bike only had 10 bids for a total of 6100 $ . . . maybe they'll re-list it with better photos & a little bit of detailing . . .


this FXDG was listed on ebay last week (11.2020) the "buy it now price"was 12500 $
