Default New guy with a question

Hey all...I'm a little premature as to being a full member as I don't have my Harley yet, but not new to riding.

Anyway...I'm about to pull the trigger on a bike and I had a question. Can someone tell me the difference between a FLHX and a FLHXI?

I'm sure its minor, but I'm one of those **** S.O.B shoppers that research the hell out of something before I by it!

Thanks in advance!

Marty

Marty, welcome to the forum from Windsor Canada. The Street Glide came out in model year 2006, HD produced efi and carb that year. Any SG's that were carbed were FLHX, any that were efi were called FLHXI. Bikes were similar as far as I know except for that. Good luck shopping.

Fuel injection. Welcome to the Forum from Indy! When not riding, it's a great place to spend some time.
