Donning the now famous moniker “Shovelhead” due to the iconic (and instantly recognizable) design of its valve covers, the FLH first entered production in 1941. As early as 1965, the FLH came with electric start — a welcome upgrade amongst those looking to do more serious long-distance trips aboard their Harleys.
The biggest changes to the FLH came in 1966. Along with a newly-designed combustion chamber and an aluminum head, Harley-Davidson also gave the model a set of rocker arms that connected to the head itself. The updated FLH made a hearty 60hp and a thumping exhaust note that proved wildly popular amongst those brandishing the bar and shield. With additions such as a powerful front disc brake and a alternator housed where the old, out-dated generator had once been, the FLH was on the bleeding-edge of technology for cruisers that were meant to chew up miles of road.
As RideApart found in its vintage review of the FLH Duo-Glide, “there is something about winding the gears out on an old Harley that just puts a smile on your face. I often compare it to driving a 60s muscle car, which, while slower than most modern sports cars, just feels more powerful.”
