HARLEY-DAVIDSON LETTER REFERENCE
The Harley-Davidson Alphabet
By Diana Rowe
At first glance, the sequence of letters and numbers remind me of a
random, double-secret code (not unlike opening up a can of Alphabet
Soup) that only "special" Harley people know. Like what the heck is an
FLH? If I didn't know the code, I wondered, how many others are puzzled or pushed to imbibe simply because they don't feel a part of the
HD Alphabet club?
My mission? To break the code or at least break it down into a less confusing alphabet.
I discovered that Harley model designations aren't a secret code, but a
sequence of letters and numbers, combined in limited ways, to further
describe the model. The sequences can be long or short, but they come
together as a model description of sorts.
The first letter of the model designator reveals the engine series and
may be one of the following:
E, J, K ('50s small twin), F, U, V (Big Twin), D, G, R, W (Small Twin),
X (Sportster), or V (VRSC)
Letters are appended singly or in pairs, as follows:
B (Belt Drive), C (Classic or Custom), D (Dyna Glide), DG (Disk
Glide), E (Electric start), F (Fat Boy (1990-present) or Foot-shift (1972
and prior)), H (High compression), L (Hydra Glide forks), LR (Low
Rider), P (Police), R (Race or Rubber-mount), S (Sport, Springer, or
Standard), SB (Single belt final drive), ST (Softail), T (Touring), WG
(Wide Glide), I (Fuel injection), SE (Screamin' Eagle), U (Ultra)
*Custom Vehicle Operations models can also have a number (2,3,4)
added.
Note that these model designation "rules" aren't set in stone and
apparently broken regularly by the company. That means, just when you
know the alphabet, they might change it into another double-secret code.
Here's a quick glance at the 2008 HD models (all trademarked™ and/or
registered® to Harley-Davidson) and their alphabet designation:
SPORSTER Family's 7 models:
883 = XL 883; 883 LOW = XL883L; 883 CUSTOM = XL883C; 1200
NIGHTSTER = XL1200N; 1200 LOW = XL1200L; 1200 CUSTOM =
XL1200C; 1200 ROADSTER = XL1200R.
DYNA Family's 6 models:
SUPER GLIDE = FXD; SUPER GLIDE CUSTOM - FXDC; STREET
BOB = FXDB; LOW RIDER = FXDL; FAT BOB = FXDF; AND
WIDE GLIDE = FXDWG.
SOFTAIL Family's 8 models:
NIGHT TRAIN = FXSTC; FAT BOY = FLSTF; SOFTAIL DELUXE =
FLSTN; HERITAGE SOFTAIL CLASSIC = FLSTC; SOFTAIL CROSS
BONES = FLSTSB; ROCKER = FXCW; AND ROCKER C = FXCWC.
VRSC Family's 3 models:
V-ROD = VRSCAW; NIGHT ROD = VRSCD; AND NIGHT ROD
SPECIAL = VRSCDX
TOURING Family's 7 models:
ROAD KING = FLHR; ROAD KING CLASSIC = FLHRC; STREET
GLIDE = FLHX; ROAD GLIDE = FLTR; ELECTRA GLIDE

This past weekend, I stopped by a new biker bar in town – Wrigley’s
Chicago (formerly Scotty Dawgs). As soon as you walk in, you’ll notice
that it’s the same, yet different, as the bar area is opened up like a
Cheers bar. Bikes lined the parking lot, parallel to Colfax, taking
advantage of the Colorado spring day. The place was packed, especially
the patio where bikers were making sure they took in the sunny day.
Its owners, newlyweds Paula and Skip Perry, are no strangers to the
scene, putting their time in at various joints like Clancy’s, Scotty
Dawgs, Angie’s, and Susie’s. After a brief hiatus of renovations,
Wrigley’s re-opened the end of March. “It was a soft opening,” says coowner Skip, “but we still had 40 people in line when we opened the
doors.”
Skip says, “Bikers are always welcome! Our plans are to expand the
patio around front to take advantage of the gorgeous view of the
foothills. Give the bikers more parking and more places outside to hang
out.”
Wrigley’s will also cater to the Chicago transplants and fans of the
Chicago sports team (like me) airing Chicago games and May’s new
menu will feature Chicago-style dogs, Friday fish fries, and Saturday’s
prime rib. The Grand Opening is Saturday, May 17.

Got Bike Maintenance?
By Diana Rowe
When I got my first car, my dad (a longtime mechanic) told me the only way to learn
how to fix things was to do it. So he made me
change all four tires on my big Ford Galaxy
clunker and rotate them. After that sweaty
maintenance tip, he then taught me how to
change the oil, air filter, refill the windshield
fluid, and the list goes on and on. As much as
I hated it at that time, I can't thank him enough
for teaching me how to take care of my own
vehicle. But I still don't know basic maintenance on my bike.
Sun Harley-Davidson rides to the rescue
with their New Owners' Clinic. Join Gary
Williams and his crew on the 1st and 3rd
Saturday of every month at 10:30 am to learn
basic maintenance techniques to keep your
bike running and looking its best all year long.
Everyone's invited, whether new to the sport or
riding for years. Sun H-D will even buy the
coffee and doughnuts.
Dates coming up: April 19, May 3, and May
17.

Benefit Dinner and Dance For
Tiffaine Casados
On October 31, 2007 Tiffaaine Casados was an innocent victim of a
drive by shooting in Downtown Denver. She was hit under her rib
cage on the right side of her body; the bullet traveled completely
through her spinal cord and is lodged in the muscle to the left of her
spine and will remain for life. As a result of her injury, she is paralyzed and will be dependant on medications; and her wheelchair for the
7
rest of her life.
Many changes/additions have had to be made to make it possible for
her to return home such as, shower bars in the tub; a special shower chair
installed in the tub; hand bars around the toilet; a front deck and wheelchair ramp at the entrance to the house; widened doorways to the bathroom. Installation of washer/dryer hooks ups upstairs in our home; front

News from Milwaukee's
HOG Heaven
Harley-Davidson reported that 2007 was "a lot like that motorcycle trip
you take in early summer in the mountains - the one where the forecast
is for blue skies and dry roads and, all of a sudden at 9,500 feet of elevation you find yourself in the middle of a snowstorm." (Sounds like
our Colorado Rockies to me!) This is the preface to their report that last
year their net revenue decreased 1.3 percent, and net income dropped
1.05 percent. Here are the details for number crunchers: 2007 revenue
$5.73 billion compared to 2006 revenue $5.80 billion.
H-D dealers sold 337,774 new Harley-Davidson motorcycles worldwide in 2007, compared to 343,981 in 2006 and 317,169 in 2005.
However, the H-D report does acknowledge that their decision to reduce
fourth-quarter motorcycle shipments might have impacted that number.
Worldwide sales of H-D motorcycles declined .8% in 2007, with international sales helping to bridge the U.S. shortage.

RIDE The HIGH-END Motorcycle Wave
By Diana Rowe
Our economy might be bottoming out, but the wave of the high-end motorcycles is riding high. Manufacturers are rolling out the red carpet introducing
powerful, opulent, feature-laden scooters at prices that resemble full-size,
four-wheeled vehicles. Several motorcycles that went on sale this spring cost
between $15,000 and $40,000.
The average price of bikes has risen like a hot summer day in Phoenix over
the past few years. Last year it reached $12,304, compared to $11,480 in
2002. This increase arrives on the wheels of declining U.S. motorcycle sales,
dipping 7.7% to about 1.1 million in 2007.

HARLEY-DAVIDSON LETTER REFRENCE continued from page 2
STANDARD = FLHT; ELECTRA GLIDE CLASSIC = FLHTC; AND ULTRA
CLASSIC ELECTRA GLIDE = FLHTCU.
Now I know that the designation for my new Harley Softail Cross Bones is: FLSTB,
and the alphabet stands for: F (Big Twin) L (Hydra Glide forks) (or FL is also known
to stand for the F with more power…) ST (Softail) B (belt drive).
Still confused? You're probably not alone. While all these letters might not make
much sense to the average Harley rider, they help a lot in the parts department - especially when prefaced by a year.
CR- Cafe racer style, with bikini fairing.
LT- Touring, with bigger tank, thicker seat, and hard bags.
The first letter of the model designator reveals the engine series:
G - Servicar three wheeler, 1932 to 1972
E - Overhead valve 61 cubic inch "big twin" (Engine/trans separated)
F - Overhead valve 74,80 or 88 cubic inch "big twin"
FL - 80 to 88 cubic inches and a fat front tire.
K - Side valve 45 and 55 cubic inch sports bike that replaced the WL in 1953 and was
replaced by the Sportster in 1957. It had many design features that were carried over
to the Sportster.
U - Side valve 74 or 80 cubic inch "big twin"
V - Side valve 74 cubic inch made prior to 1936
W - Side valve 45 cubic inch made 1934 to 1952
X - Sports and special construction. Applied to 1918-1922 opposed twin
Sport, 1944 military opposed twin, and 1957 to present Sportster.
The second letter of the model designator reveals the Front end (except
sportsters)
X - Narrow tire and sport forks.
L - Wide front tire and Hydra-Glide front forks.
(FX originally meant "Factory Expirimantal" The first one was the Super
Glide FX)
The third letter of the model designator reveals the frame style:
D - "Dyna" frame (with the rubber mounted motor)
HT - "Highway Touring" frame
ST - "Softail®" frame
The next letter(s) indicates the model bike within the frame family:
A - Military (Army) version (except GA, Servicar without tow bar)
B - Battery start (early models), Belt drive (early 80's) Black
paint.(1995-6 model, the Bad Boy)
C - Classic, Competition, Custom, various others meanings.
D - Dyna, the newest frame and engine mount design.
DG - Disc Glide
E - Electric start
F - Foot shift (when the standard was hand-shift) and now "Fat Boy®"
H - varied between High performance and Heavy duty.
I - Signifies Fuel Injection.
L - Big fat front tire
LR- Low Rider (though many Low Riders don't include LR in the model ID)
N - Nostalgia
P - Police version
R - Rubber mounted engine (some models) racing version (other models)
ST- Soft Tail, Softail®l
S - Springer
S - (without following T) Sports version
T - Touring
WG - Wide Glide
X - Sportster or sportster-type front end and Skinny front tire.
Horoscope
Aries (March 21-April 19).
Adventurous month. Do you feel like having an
adventure? You're more likely to have an adventure when you go on a short journey. No need to
go very far, just someplace you've wanted to go
before, yet never been. This is also a good month
to surprise a close friend with news, a small gift,
or a long ride
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22).
People power. To feel your best, spend more time
socializing with others. Attending a poker run
would fit the bill perfectly! But that's not the only
solution. You can also go to any crowded public
bar where you can mingle with lots of people.
This is also a great month to go to a popular benefit run or a night of karaoke.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).
Relationship elevator is going up. You'll want to
spend more time with someone you find special.
The stage is set for your relationships to improve
and mature. If possible, try planning something
unique with that someone special. And don't let
outside influences interrupt your time and your
riding together
Taurus (April 20-May 20).
Different strokes for different folks. This month,
the beliefs of people around you will differ from
yours. Rather than clash with all of them, listen
respectfully to their opinions. Then only if
absolutely necessary, try explaining your position.
Great day to expose yourself to other points of
view.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Out in front. This month your leadership skills are
stronger than usual -- so much so that you should
put yourself into situations where you can take a
greater leadership role. You'll find you're especially effective when you get out in front and lead
others by example. This is also a great time to
invite friends to join you for a ride through the
Rockies.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Better shape. Great Month to focus on bettering
your health. Your health and physical well-being
are in stronger focus. To help achieve the best
results, try to focus mostly on eating healthy
foods, and on getting enough rest for your body to
rebuild its natural defenses. Take time out for
yourself.
Gemini (May 21-June 21).
Shiny happy person. This month, your individuality will really shine. For the best month possible,
try showing off the qualities that make you different and unique. That could involve wearing your
favorite leathers, enjoying a small trip, sharing
your hobbies and collections, or even telling others your most unique desires.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Make up your mind! Spending too long making
decisions won't benefit you. In fact, it could cause
you some unnecessary grief. That's because you'll
tend to overanalyze your options. The simple solution to this problem is to make decisions more
quickly, especially on unimportant matters. Ride
safe!
Cancer (June 22-July 22).
Take time for both. The next four weeks, you'll
have dual needs. On one hand, you'll want to take
part in social activities. At the same time, you'll
need some time alone to ride. Fortunately, you can
and should do both! Plan time with others, and
also try to find some place quiet where you can
spend a joyful ride alone.
Scorpio (Sept. 23-Oct. 22).
Can you avoid money? You may want to try!
That's because today your judgment regarding the
use of money is at below normal levels. Try putting off any major purchases or investments. You'll
also want to avoid advising others how to spend
their money. Next month things will be back to
normal.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The language of love. Romance is a much greater
possibility! So what can you do to improve your
chances? You needn't say a word. That's because
your nonverbal signals are the key to improving
your chances of making a love connection. When
meeting people, let your eyes and smile express
your true intentions. Invite a companion for a ride.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20).
Back to the simple things. Simplicity is your key
to having the most successful and satisfying
month. That means you'll want to avoid situations
that seem overly complex. Instead, choose to do
things in the simplest manner possible. It's also a
great month to focus your time on favorite places
to ride, activities and people.
