82 cu in (1,340 cc) 		1987–1993 A stripped down Electra Glide without the "Batwing" fork-mounted fairing or Tour-Pak with a simple windshield. The Electra Glide Sport was a precursor to the Road King. It was relaunched in 1981 as the Sport Electra Glide and in 1983-84 had an Evolution engine and a new chassis. In 1987, it had the Tour Glide's all-in-one console for its instruments, and a different nacelle.
FLHR/I Road King 82 cu in (1,340 cc) (1998)

The 1999–2008 used the newer Twin Cam engine and had a lower seat height. The Road Kings also came in a 'Classic' version with wire spoked wheels (FLHRC-I), a factory custom version with different leather saddlebags and a small chrome windshield (FLHRS-I) and an even more customized Screamin' Eagle edition (FLHRSEI).

Ultra Electra Glide electrical system was standard, allowing plug and play additions and communications. Electrical system from the Electra Glide Classic was used beginning in 2000, with expensive upgrades available, communications upgrades requiring the radio be returned to the factory.

The Street Glide still retains all of the creature comforts of the Electra Glide bikes such as a Harman/Kardon sound system, cruise control, and optional ABS and security. A "Street Glide Special" version, designated FLHXS, was introduced in 2014 with the security system and ABS made standard, a Boom! Box 4.3" (FLHX) or 6.5GT (FLHXS) [with Touch screen and GPS] infotainment system, manually adjustable upgraded rear suspension, trim (including gloss black inner fairing and pin striping), and paint (some different colors between the FLHX and FLHXS). 2014-15 models of the FLHX and FLHXS incorporated the changes brought forward by Harley-Davidson's Project Rushmore[1]
