About the 1982 Harley Davidson Shovelhead 1340 FXR Super Glide

The 1982 Harley Davidson Shovelhead 1340 FXR Super Glide represents an era of evolution for Harley Davidson motorcycles. The Shovelhead engine was in production from 1966 to 1984, offering improved power and reliability over its predecessors. The 1340cc engine specifically was known for its durability and robustness.

What set the FXR Super Glide apart were its advanced features like the rubber-mounted engine, which helped reduce vibrations, thereby offering a smoother ride. The frame was also redesigned to improve handling and control, making it popular among riders who craved both power and comfort.

Technically, this model incorporated some of the best elements of its time. It offered an electric start, a feature that was a luxury in the motorcycles from this period. Moreover, the Super Glide variants were highly customizable, offering a range of aftermarket parts and thereby letting the owner imprint a personal touch to their machine.

In the context of the motorcycling community, the FXR Super Glide received high praise for its balanced approach to design and performance. It was seen as a bike that could handle long rides with ease while still being stylish and customizable. The FXR series was ultimately succeeded by the Dyna range, but it left a significant mark on Harley Davidson's lineup and continues to be a sought-after classic today.
