In 1984, Harley-Davidson released a Special Edition to close out production of the Shovelhead (though apparently there were ’85 models that were produced on contract for certain state authorities). Frankly, there’s some conflicting stories on the end of the Shovelhead run but according to Shovelhead.us, 791 white and 467 black examples were produced of the FLHX Special Edition. As you can probably tell from the photos, this is one of the latter.
The FLHX was an Electra Glide called the Last Edition and no matter your choice of base color it came with gold stripes and red pinstriping, plus the full touring package and wire wheels. This example is said not to be a show bike but instead a daily rider.
Find this FLHX for sale here on Craigslist in Daytona Beach, Florida. Interestingly, when this bike was first sent to me the asking price was $8,750 – looks like the seller decided that wasn’t enough and now he’s asking for $12,750.
