The "Hydra Glide" name first appeared in 1950, but I believe the first actual hydra glide, meaning hydraulic front suspension, was in 1949.







Here's a breakdown of the "Revival" models by year:
  • 2021: Electra Glide Revival
    • A tribute to the 1969 classic, featuring the batwing fairing and tri-tone paint, with modern tech like Apple CarPlay.
  • 2022: Low Rider El Diablo
    • Inspired by the sought-after 1980s FXRT, capturing West Coast style.
  • 2023: Electra Glide Highway King
    • Embraces the nostalgia of long-distance touring on two-lane roads, reminiscent of the 1960s.
  • 2024: Hydra-Glide Revival
    • A nod to the 1950s Panhead era and the iconic Hydra-Glide telescopic front suspension, with a modern Softail chassis.
  • 2025: Fat Boy Gray Ghost
    • Honors the original 1990 Fat Boy, bringing back a legendary look with enhanced power.


I really liked the 2021 Electra Glide Revival bike... the others, not so much...

HA, at first I didn't know what you were talking about...

Then I saw my misspelling...

At least I didn't misspell it on the bike's actual price tag...

Thanks, I corrected it..
