Description

There’s no mistaking Harley heritage with this 2008 Electra Glide Ultra Classic FLHTCU. Under the tank is an air-cooled, 45-degree V-twin engine with two valves per cylinder. That 96-inch motor (1,584cc) offers a bore and stroke of 95.25 x 111.25mm, figures that indicate a torquey stroker rather than a revver. Sure, it’s still air-cooled and its valves are actuated by pushrods with hydraulic lifters that never need adjustment, but power has been tweaked in unexpected ways. Hit the starter button, and after a loud whump from the starter damper the electronic sequential port fuel injection helps the engine fire up immediately…unless you forget to pack the hands-free security fob that’s part of the optional Smart Security System. This bike has many upgrades from the custom front wheel to the Rhinehart exhaust.
