1958 Harley-Davidson FL Duo-Glide Motorcycle

This Duo-Glide is especially stylish in Skyline Blue and White with white floorboards. grips. kicker pedal. pegs and fringed seat and saddlebags. Continuing to give serious touring riders what they wanted. the optional King of the Highway package offered saddlebags. dual exhaust. fender tips. bumpers and either the Deluxe Buddy or Solo seat plus a luggage rack. As before. the “helper springs” flipped forward under the seat to provide extra support for a passenger. folded down for solo riding. In this era about 3500 FLs and ELs were produced annually. The 1958 machine also received other updates including a hydraulic rear brake. a stronger transmission and clutch. better connections for the exhaust headers at the head plus optional whitewall tires. The chrome struts. already a design feature on the K Model and Sportster. became an element of the big twin as well supporting the rear fender and taillight. The rear fender remained hinged to allow for rear wheel service. Engine: Air-Cooled.
