That 84 with springs on the rear , air in the front , and enclosed chain was the best riding of the three hands down ..

Ugliest Harley ever built ?? Nah hadda be the XLCR ..

I know the Tour Glides had reversed trees, and the Road Kings have forward trees. So did the Road Glides have forward trees, and do the Street Glides have forward or reverse?

Not a trick question, I just wanna know...

I'll second that !

BTW, had a Sportster rider stop to assist me on the side of the highway in '90 while riding the Tour Glide....said he even stops to help "You Jap bike riders". Not much has changed in 20 years
