Electra Glide over the years

At a quick glance, it is hard to tell the difference between an Ultra Classic and an Ultra Limited
Ultra Classic = No radiator
Ultra Limited = Radiator
Ultra Classic

of course the "Electra-Glide" was just the addition of a starter, bigger battery and a changed primary to a bike which dates back to the 1936 EL...so not a game changer but part of the evolution of the big twin model
here's my '53 which looks much the same as the first EG, no rear shocks, different headlight shroud and kicker, but very much the same.
the Evolution motor bikes shared hundreds of parts to models dating back decades, some all the way to the 30's.
you may be interested in the superglide/low rider which was a sportster front end on a big twin FLH frame

The Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King and other big twins are all similar except for fairings and other bolt-ons.

loosen locknut and tranny bolts, adjust tranny, lock it down, adjust rear axle for drive chain
Been running a primo belt in the stock tins on the green bike for about 15 years-

actually faster I think, nothing needs to be opened up just remove the primary inspection cover to gauge the tension.
