With a gap between the smaller XL models and
the larger FLBs, Harley announced the all new
FX series for 1971. By joining the frame of
the FL with the suspension of the XL, Harley
hoped that the latest entry would appeal to
a wider audience. The unusual boat tail rear
fender that was first seen on the 1970 Sportsters
was also installed on the FX. While the styling
was certainly different. |

But the notion of a lean, muscular cruiser caught
on in a big way. Once the tail section disappeared
for ’72, the Super Glide developed a following,
spawning the FX line of Harleys that has continued
for more than 30 years, through the Low Rider,
the Wide Glide, the Sturgis, the Softail and the
Deuce. |
