Harley-Davidson has revived the historic "Super Glide" as a 2026 model. The Super Glide is renowned as the original factory custom. With a limited production run, it's an iconic model that brings its traditional styling back to life for the modern era.
The name Super Glide just sounds great, doesn't it. The story of being the original factory custom is an aesthetic all its own. I like that it's competing not on newness but on the atmosphere built up over time. The makers' intent to 'get back to their roots' comes through directly in the finished product. That kind of thing really gets to me.

The revival of an iconic model — bringing back classic styling with modern tech is always exciting.
So 'factory custom' means it leaves the factory already with that custom flavor — first time I've realized that.
A Softail-based revival — curious how the styling differentiates it from something like the Fat Bob.
I always think this whenever an original name gets revived — feels like the original significance can't quite translate the same way today.
Still, for longtime fans who remember the original FX concept, this must carry special meaning.
It says limited production numbers, but another article had a figure of 2,500 units — maybe that's the number here too.
The title 'originator of the factory custom' brings back the historical significance of the original 1971 FX.
Releasing a factory-built custom in the middle of the chopper boom was genuinely groundbreaking at the time.
