Who doesn’t love a good ol’ Harley? The company took inspiration from the ‘40s as it designed the FL. Its name came from the approach to the large frame size of the model. In 1977, Harley-Davidson debuted a Confederate Edition of its FLH Electra Glide. This was done in an effort to show put its decals and paint into the spotlight. The company only manufactured 44 units of this special edition.
