Harley-Davidson Super Glide 35th Anniversary(FXDI35) review

A celebration of the 1971 bike that relaunched Harley-Davidson. A limited run of 3500 will be produced
Nostalgia, exclusivity
Perhaps too limited to get hold of one

Not tested

The 2006 35th Anniversary Super Glide pays hommage to the patriotic red, white and blue 1971 FX Super Glide designed by Wille G. Davidson. The Glacier white pearl graphics are similar to the original and include a metal tank logo depicting the famous Number One logo. Special emblems and a special ribbed two-up seat complete the package.
