Power plant 61 CI V-twin, 4-speed Features New frame, anniversary graphics
To commemorate Harley-Davidson's 75th Anniversary, two special models were offered, a Sportster and an Electra Glide. The Sportster, painted midnight black and trimmed in gold, also featured aluminum wheels finished in gold and a genuine leather seat. ____1979 XLH/1000 Sportster____
Power plant 61CI V-twin, 4-speed Features Siamese exhaust
The 1979 model Spotsters featured a new frame inspired by the XR-750 racer and the unique "Siamese" exhaust system introduced on the 1977 Cafe Racer. Despite a 5 horsepower increase due to this system, Harley riders never accepted it, and usually replaced it with Harley's staggered duals or a custom exhaust system. ____1979 FLH Electra Glide Classic____
Power plant 80 CI V-twin Features Classic trim
The classic model FLH had a bigger engine than the standard 74 CI model, and featured black spoke wheels and two-tone tan and cream paint with a 1936 "Flying Wheel" graphic on the Fat Bob tank. ____1979 XLS Roadster____
Power plant 61 CI V-Twin Features Deluxe styling
The 1979 Roadster was a new model that featured drag-style handlebars, a fat 16-inch rear tire and deluxe appointments like the padded sissy bar. Extended front fork legs was another custom styling feature. ____1980 FXB Sturgis____
Power plant 80 CI V-twin, 4-speed Features twin belt drive
The Sturgis, with its orange-on-black paint treatment and drag-racing style handlebar, is considered a modern classic by many people. It was the first Harley to use low-maintenance belt drive, a feature eventually incorporated into nearly all Harley models. _1980 FLH-80 Electra Glide Classic_
Power plant 74 or 80 CI V-twin, 4-speed Features Special anniversary graphics A "Classic King" model Electra Glide, featuring two-tone paint and Tour Pac trunk as standard equipment, was offered in 1980. The standard FLH-80 was produced in two forms: the FLH-1200 with traditional laced "wire" wheels, and the FLH-80 with cast wheels. ____1980 FLT Tour Glide____
Power plant 80 CI V-twin, 5-speed Features New rubber mounted power train The 1980 FLT was an evolutionary step forward in technology for Harley-Davidson. It boasted a new rubber-isolated system for the power train, a 5-speed gearbox, and enclosed chain final drive, among other features. The isolion system was so successful that it was also incorporated in the all-new 1982 FXR. ____1980 XLH-1000 Sportster____
power plant 61 CI V-twin, 4-speed Features Staggered shorty duals
After producing Sportster with "2-into-2" exhaust systems in 1978 and 1979, Harley Davidson designers returned to the classic "staggered shorty duals" for the 1980 models. Twice as many XLHs were made than any other model.
