The '''[[Harley-Davidson]] FL Duo Glide''' was a v2, [[four-stroke]] Custom [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Harley-Davidson]] between 1958 and 1964. It could reach a top speed of 99 mph (160 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 62.99 ft/lbs (85.4 Nm) @ 3200 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 53.77 HP (40.1 KW) @ 7200 RPM.  Depending on when it was built it could be called one of the following: '''Hydra-Glide''', the '''Duo-Glide''', and the '''Electra Glide'''.
==History==
The FLH Designation started as a more highly-tuned version of the [[Harley-Davidson FL|FL]] with high-compression heads, higher-lift cams, and polished ports in 1955. 
The FLH model was given a new frame in 1958. This frame included a rear swingarm suspended by a pair of coil-over-shock suspension units. In honor of this fully-suspended chassis, the FLH's model name was changed from Hydra-Glide to Duo-Glide
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.
