It might not make sense to everyone but for me it did because I wanted alloy wheels, I prefer the FXD tank and don't mind a speedo mounted on the bars, and chrome covers were not a necessity. If I had to do it again I would more than likely buy the stock FXD. Sure the custom has some nice extras for the price but not everyone is looking for them.

Well, I am going to show my age here, I remember when there was ONLY the EG and Sporty, (Sporty was 900cc) and I remember when they came out with the Super Glide the first time,, even in my teen years I thought it was the coolest one. I liked the one that was white, with red/blue pin stripes, and had the boat tail rear fender.
Harley-Davidson styling director Willie G. Davidson was aware of this phenomenon and decided to design a motorcycle for production that would offer the look of the custom bikes. To accomplish this, he started with the frame and rear suspension (but not the electric starter) from the FLH Electra Glide, to which he then mated the smaller telescopic forks from the XLH Sportster. This combination was referred to as the FX chassis, to denote an FL frame with XL forks. The drivetrain and engine accessories were from the FLH, the front headlights and brakes were from the XLH. To complete the Super Glide, he added buckhorn handlebars and a "boattail" tail/fender unit similar to those being used on the XLH Sportster.[1]
The production FX Super Glide was released in 1971 to a lukewarm reception. Particularly not well received was the "boattail", which also proved to be unpopular on the Sportsters that had it. Sales of both models improved when less radical rear styling was made available.

I sure don't want to sound stupid by posting this since everyone posting about 2011 but I sure had to just put it out there that I thought it was wrong for them to drop the Electic Glide Standard. Any dealer will tell ya that they sold like hot cakes because they could do all they wanted with it and make it their own or whatever bike they might have liked wether it be a SG or Ultra. Think Harley is gonna lose money on that one in the long run.
