Wink ElectraGlide Classic ?

We only get Standards and Ultra Classics in England,whats the Classic got going for it?
Also,at a rally up in Scotland I saw an old 'Glide (early seventies,drum front brake) with "ElectraGlide" small chrome badges on either side of the front fender. Are these badges still available and does anyone know the part no please.? Cheers

The classic is essentially an ultra with no CB, lower fairings, tour pack speakers and cruise control. The cruise is an option on Classics of course. Not sure there are any other differences?

The other difference is the Ultra has an intercom system on it.

google this 59196-65

That is the HD part number, I know J&P sells them, and I found a bunch of other sites that had them. Just make sure you get the ones you want quality wise, in aftermarket you might get chromed plastic if you don't read the fine print
Zanotti has them for 14 bucks US plus shipping https://www.zanottimotor.com/shopping/partLookUp.html

.....the difference is..."after you've had some bangers and mash, and your best mate comes round and knocks you up for a jaunt through Soho, you can't right very well have a chat with him as you go through the roundabout, as he has no intercom".....oh and a few other differences too....

Another difference (not counting tank emblems) is the additional brake/running lights in the corners of the Ultra TourPak and the LED light strip around the bottom edge of the TourPak. The Classic has a chrome strip instead of the LEDs and solid corners instead of lights.

Oh, and two more things - the Classic is $2000 US cheaper and it is significantly faster due to the lighter weight, of course. ;-)
