You guys are correct! It's not a Street Glide! At first I thought it was because the inner faring and all the tins are actually off a SG. I thought wow how did you get that Evo motor into this SG? Then I asked the guy what it was he replied " I don't know I just bought it, I was told it's a Street Glide." Then I asked what year is it he said "1997" then I put it all together. Electra Glide with all 2006 tins and inner/outer fairing.
Here is my bike same color that is why that one caught my eye.

the frame was little changed from 1983 to 2008, - the Showa front end was same dimensions '78 to 2013 so fenders are an easy swap.
the StreetGlide is not magic, H-D copied what the owners were doing- same with the Roadking ( based on FLHS) and the FX...an FLH with a sporty front end.

the 1997 and 2006 fairing are...the same...looks like he uses stock cable drive speedo and orig. wheels. the frame was little changed from 1983 to 2008, - the Showa front end was same dimensions '78 to 2013 so fenders are an easy swap. the StreetGlide is not magic, H-D copied what the owners were doing- same with the Roadking ( based on FLHS) and the FX...an FLH with a sporty front end.

how to convert an the parts you need an were to find them
so the 'secret' is revealed.
the FLHX StreetGlide is a marketing exercise...a "Factory Custom" model based on common owner mods to the FLHT Standard which was the least expensive touring model until H-D discontinued it.
The bike shown appears to be a 96~98 FLHT with some stuff added,and more removed.
