First year of the Electra Glide. 12 volt electrics and a new frame for the larger battery. The oil tank is moved to the left side and the footshift model gets a "Turnpike" 5 gallon tank. The primary cover is aluminum, the spark advance automatic and stronger cases and clutch for the higher torque starter. Gone is the trumpet horn for a disc unit, and shock chrome domed caps. Enter the ball end brake and clutch hand levers.
