When did they stop making the Super Glide?

1985
The FXE Super Glide was discontinued in 1985, with the FXEF Fat Bob becoming the base model. The 1985 FXEF was the first and last FXEF to have the Evo motor along with being the last year for the 4sp and chain drive. In 1986, all FX-based bikes except the Wide Glide were supplanted by FXR-based bikes.

How often does a Dyna Glide battery die?

This article applies to Dyna Glide models (1991-2016). Batteries die from time to time. Sometimes, they last two years and sometimes they last 10 (rarely). When they do die, it can be a major bummer. It is easy to avoid this issue by changing your battery regularly.

Where is the battery on a Harley Davidson Dyna Glide?

Loosen the battery cover/support and slide it outboard. The battery cover/support looks like a rectangular panel and is located just below the seat on the right side of your Dyna. There are two fasteners here. One is a bolt located just forward of the battery box and the other is a bolt located on the bottom of the battery box.

Why is my Harley Davidson Dyna Glide not starting?

If your battery voltage and connections are in good condition, but your engine is still refusing to turn over, the problem may be in the starter circuit. Perhaps the easiest place to begin is at the starter solenoid on the right side of the motorcycle.

Starter solenoid electrical connections. Another component to inspect is the starter relay, which is located in the electrical fuse box underneath the side cover on the left side of the motorcycle. Relays have the potential to go bad and prevent high current from reaching the starter.

What should the voltage be on a Harley Davidson Dyna Glide?

Use a voltmeter to measure the available voltage at the battery. A battery that is 100% charged will have approximately 12.6 volts, whereas a battery with a 0% charge will read 11.8 volts or lower. If your battery is low, charge the battery on a setting no higher than five amps for a few hours.

Why did Harley-Davidson stop making the Dyna?

What is high mileage for Harley-Davidson?

For larger bikes, 50,000 miles and up is considered high motorcycle mileage. But before you write off any models, consider that a properly maintained bike can last well past 100,000 miles! That’s why it’s important to think about the whole package, rather than motorcycle mileage alone.

How old is the Harley Davidson Super Glide?

At age 36, the Super Glide has gone through a number of iterations with a succession of engines and frames over the years. Though it retains the look and attitude of that 1971 model, the 2006 Super Glide shares virtually no parts with the original FX.

Is the Dyna Super Glide a Softail engine?

What kind of tire does a Super Glide have?

A 160/70B17 rear tire replaces the 150/80-16 of the 2005 model. The rear fender and battery cover were restyled to adapt to the wider rear end, and the seat was reconfigured slightly, as well. The Super Glide’s standard saddle is now a solo seat, though our test bike came with a dual saddle and passenger pegs.

What’s the steering angle on a Dyna Super Glide?

All Dynas except the Wide Glide get 29-degree steering heads, and though some of them use offset triple clamps to change the fork angle, the Super Glide’s fork is also set at 29 degrees. A wider, burlier swingarm offers a more rigid mount for the rear wheel, which like the front spins on a stiffer 1-inch axle.
