I dont know the numbers and I have or had them both over the years. I remember back in the 70's me n the guys my age were riding Superglides and FLH Dressers were considered Geezerglides.

I would venture to say most of the Superglide people migrated to Electraglides at some point in their life and the folks on this forum may be more in tne with Geezerglides today.

Nice spread sheet !
Clearly shows the new taller and uglier XL introduced in `79 was not a hit with buyers
