With wartime utilitarianism in the rearview mirror, Harley-Davidson entered the 1950s with the 74-cubic-inch Panhead powertrain, the Hydra-Glide telescopic front end, and refreshing color schemes that brought new energy to the only surviving American motorcycle manufacturer. One of the most beloved models was the 1956 FLH, which featured a red base color with a white stripe, known as the “slash” two-tone color scheme. Now, 75 years after the 1949 introduction of the Hydra-Glide front end, Harley-Davidson is reviving this icon of the Panhead era in serialized limited production.

MILWAUKEE-EIGHT® 114 ENGINE

The 74-cubic-inch Panhead motor was a marvel at the birth of the American highway but is no match for today’s Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-twin, which delivers modern performance and that classic Harley-Davidson look, sound, and feel.

CRUISE CONTROL

While cruise control made its debut in the ‘50s, it wasn’t featured on the original Hydra-Glide, but we’re sure it would’ve been appreciated by beatniks and other wayfaring riders.

SCREAMIN’ EAGLE® HIGH-FLOW AIR CLEANER

Any old-school hotrodder will tell you to “let that motor breathe,” which is why the Screamin’ Eagle High-Flow Air Cleaner comes standard on the Hydra-Glide Revival.

SOFTAIL™ CHASSIS

The lowered, hidden mono-shock suspension of the modern Softail chassis provides that vintage rigid look without any need for an antique kidney belt.
