The Harley-Davidson FL Hydra-Glide proved a major step for Big-Twin engines, when the old hand-shift/foot-clutch arrangement was superseded by a modern foot shift and hand clutch. However, the old setup was still optionally available - and would remain so until the mid-1970s - as it was still preferred by some riders and police departments. New Big Twin features introduced in the 1955 Harley-Davidson FL HydraGlide included revised cast tank badges boasting a prominent V in the background, along with a similar badge on the front fender with 1955 stamped into it.
Also, the existing FL Hydra Glide was joined by a performance-oriented FLH with higher compression, hotter cams, and polished ports that resulted in about 10 percent more power. Standard equipment included a Jubilee air trumpet, and a host of optional accessories were available; those fitted to our featured model include body-colored hand grips, chrome luggage rack, chrome engine guard, Buddy Seat with chrome grab rail, chrome fender dressing, and other chrome touches.
