1967 Harley-Davidson 1,200cc FLH Electra Glide Combination, Engine no. FLH3802
1967 Harley-Davidson 1,200cc FLH Electra Glide Combination
Engine no. FLH3802
• Motorcycle and sidecar in matching paint
• Restored to original factory specification
• Literature and sidecar tools included in sale
It was Harley-Davidson that created the concept of luxury-touring motorcycle, long before Honda ever thought of the Gold Wing. Back in the 1950s FLH owners could opt for the 'King of the Highway' package that added saddlebags, a windscreen and luggage rack to the basic bike. By 1969 the familiar 'batwing' fairing and a tour trunk were available, giving us the classic silhouette of a Harley touring bike still seen in the current Electra Glide.
By this time, all of the bodywork components were crafted in fiberglass, produced by a satellite facility in Tomahawk, Wisconsin, adjacent to a freshwater lake of the same name. Harley purchased the factory in 1965, formerly named Tomahawk Boats, makers of at first wooden then fiberglass watercraft. Harley discovered the company when it needed bodies for its golf cart line, of all things. In 1967 the Tomahawk plant was also producing Harley's sidecar body, newly designed and more contemporary-looking than the H-D "chairs" that had come before. Production would continue with the same basic design through 2011, after which Harley exited the sidecar business.
Finished in blue-and-white, this 1967 FLH Electra Glide with rare first-year sidecar was restored by an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast, who rebuilt the outfit to full factory-spec, retaining and utilizing OEM components, including the many trim items found on the bike today. Also included is that rarity, a completely stock factory exhaust system. In current ownership since 2006, the rig has been ridden sparingly, stored in a climate-controlled environment and now shows 23,500 miles from new. Included in the sale is an owner's manual, service manual, parts pamphlets, sidecar adjustment wrenches and a photo of the restoration in progress.
