When I first picked up the newest addition to Harley-Davidson’s Softail line, I had no idea that the 2018 Sport Glide could convert to a stripped-down cruiser in seconds. It wasn’t until a week later as I was swapping out for a taller windshield when I noticed two quick-detach levers on the back side of the fairing. Five seconds later I was looking at a different bike!
The saddlebags unlock with one switch and quickly pull off, leaving only slightly longer fender mounting bolts to hint at what was once there. Once the front fairing is pulled off—exposing the classic round headlight and newer inverted forks—the Sport Glide has an entirely new vibe.
We love the look of this bike all stripped down and think it’s a great option for riders who want improved front suspension with a more traditional look than the Fat Bob. Stay tuned for more on this convertible cruiser!
