The Super Glides, Lowriders etc had the regular full fender.
So did the Sturgis, The LR & the Sturgis had the mags.
Super Glide's were spokes. The FXWG had the flip (ducktail)
Rr/Fender and spokes. There were a few WG's that had
mags. That was 81 I believe. Then in 82 the dual disc
went away. There was a WG that had the solid (Centerline)
looking rear wheel, but a 21" frt spoke.
