About the 1971 Harley-Davidson FX Super GlideIntroduced in 1971, the FX Super Glide was Harley-Davidson's attempt to blend the performance and appearance of the Sportster with the power of the larger Big Twin platform. The model is widely recognized as one of the first factory custom motorcycles ever offered by a major manufacturer.
The FX combined the proven 74 cubic inch Shovelhead V-twin engine with styling cues that appealed to riders looking for a more personalized, stripped-down machine. The Super Glide helped launch the factory custom movement and became the foundation for many future Harley-Davidson models.
Today, early FX Super Glides remain highly collectible and are considered important milestones in Harley-Davidson history.

Interesting Fact:The FX Super Glide is often credited as Harley-Davidson's first true factory custom motorcycle, helping establish a market segment that remains one of the company's strongest categories more than fifty years later.
The 1971 FX Super Glide is most commonly known today as the "Boattail" or "Boat Tail Super Glide." The nickname came from its distinctive fiberglass rear fender/seat assembly that tapered like the stern of a speedboat. The design was created under the direction of Willie G. Davidson and was used only on the first-year FX, making it one of the most recognizable—and controversial—Harleys ever built.
