The third and final change given to the name of the basic FL model would occur in 1965, the final year of the "[[Panhead]]" engines. These last "Panheads" were the first "big-twin" Harley-Davidson engines to be equipped with electric starters, the [[Servi-Car]] having received electric start the year before. This innovation for Harley-Davidson was greeted with the new model name of Electra Glide.

==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] v2, four-stroke. A 87.0mm [[bore]] x 102.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 1212.7 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead valves (ohv). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 4-speed transmission. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 5.00-16 front [[tire]] and a 5.00-16 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake (drum brake) in the front and a expanding brake (drum brake) in the rear. The front suspension was a  hydraulic telescopic forks while the rear was equipped with a swingarm. dual coil-over-shocks.. The FL Duo Glide was fitted with a 3.75 Gallon (14.19 Liters) fuel tank. The bike weighed just 670.21 pounds (304.0 Kg). The wheelbase was 59.06 inches (1500 mm) long.
