Already known for its superb handling and stability, Harley Davidson Electra Glide wheels came on market in 2009 with yet added improvements. This year’s Harley touring models, Electra Glide included, have revamped their chassis system for an even better balanced ride. The excessive heating experienced at the rear cylinder, particularly on warm days, of the past designs has also been remedied. Now standard in this touring bike is an Engine Idle Temperature Management System. This system works by stopping fuel intake to the rear cylinder when the temperature of the engine reaches very high levels while idling. This system can be activated or deactivated by the rider through a 5-second rotation of the throttle grip.
