The 1973 Harley-Davidson FL Electra-Glide came equipped with both front and rear disc brakes. Check out more photos of this iconic motorcycle.One of the distinctive features of the 1973 Harley-Davidson FL Electra-Glide is that it's among the few models to feature the 'AMF' logo alongside the Harley name.
Although AMF acquired Harley-Davidson in January 1969, it wasn't until 1971 that the 'AMF' logo began appearing on Harley badges. Many owners, displeased with the new association, often removed these badges and repainted their bikes. Consequently, relatively few AMF-era Harleys remain in their original, untouched condition.
The partnership between AMF and Harley-Davidson was far from a harmonious one.This particular model, however, stands out. It isn't in flawless condition, as it has never been restored. Apart from the natural wear and tear over time, it remains a completely original example, exactly as it was when it left the showroom, with only 69 miles on the clock.
By the time the 1973 Harley-Davidson FL Electra-Glide was released, chrome trim on the front fender had become a standard feature.
