“ 1 of 1,150 - Big Power ”

Featuring the advanced new V-twin powerplant and FXD-generation Dyna Super Glide chassis, this 1999 Harley-Davidson “factory custom” is a rare offering as one of just 1,150 built with Diamond Ice paint and the Blond engine finish. Featuring low mileage since new and remaining factory stock, it is simply an exciting find for Harley-Davidson fans and owners alike.

Background

Featuring two extremes in postwar motorcycle customization with Dennis Hopper’s businesslike Harley-Davidson and Peter Fonda’s wild “Captain America” chopper, Easy Rider captivated motorcycle enthusiasts and convinced Harley-Davidson to offer a “factory custom” of its own – the FX Super Glide by 1971. Combining Harley’s big-twin engine with Sportster styling and numerous custom tweaks, the Super Glide built a following that continued through the promising new era heralded by the 1984 introduction of the vastly improved Evolution engine. The new Twin Cam 88 V-twin marked another important milestone in Harley-Davidson’s history in 1999 and it spawned a new range of models celebrating the company’s rich heritage with retro styling and featuring the latest technology.

The FXD Dyna Super Glide custom cruiser exemplified the company’s approach, featuring awesome styling and the power of Harley’s 88 cubic-inch, 1,450 cc V-twin engine, developing nearly 70 horsepower and amazing, useful torque output.

Overview

According to the Seller, this motorcycle is one of just 5,865 examples produced to 1999 and rarer still as one of 1,150 with its paint and engine finishes. Under 19,000 miles are indicated at the time of writing and the motorcycle clearly benefits handsomely from caring ownership and attentive maintenance.

Exterior

Finished in eye-catching Diamond Ice paint, accented by the Blond engine finish, this rare 1999 Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide exemplifies an important evolution in the company’s long-running “factory custom” model lines. Twin chrome exhaust pipes and handsomely spoked cast wheels bridge the Harley’s classic and modern elements. Chromed and polished components and complete Harley-Davidson graphics complete the visuals.

Interior

A Black leather saddle accommodates the rider and passenger. Controls and pedals appear factory stock. Additional comfort is provided by a clear accessory fairing/windshield up front.

Mechanical

As stated above, this special factory-custom motorcycle is very well-presented and lightly used over the past 24 years. The advanced and powerful Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam 88 cubic-inch (1,450 cc) V-twin powerplant resides within the Dyna chassis – the company’s first CAD-designed model and features a desirable and rare Blond finish. Other technical features include dry-sump oiling, a 5-speed transmission, and a wet 9-plate clutch. The front forks measure 39 mm with a polished fork triple clamp and dual-rate springs, while coil over shocks bring up the rear. Front and rear single-disc brakes provide ample stopping power with 4-piston calipers, respectively. Mechanicals are OEM throughout.

History

Located in Colorado since 2005, this stylish and powerful Harley-Davidson FXD Dyna Super Glide is offered with a clean Carfax vehicle-history report, plus itemized service invoices issued by Rocky Mountain Harley Davidson Motor Co. in Littleton, Colorado. An owner’s manual and a 1999 Harley-Davidson Americas Touring Handbook.

Summary

Featuring the advanced new V-twin powerplant and FXD-generation Dyna Super Glide chassis, this 1999 Harley-Davidson “factory custom” is a rare offering as one of just 1,150 built with Diamond Ice paint and the Blond engine finish. Featuring low mileage since new and remaining factory stock, it is simply an exciting find for Harley-Davidson fans and owners alike.
