This 2022 Harley-Davidson Street Glide Special delivers the ultimate expression of dark, slammed hot-rod bagger attitude, commanding the boulevard in timeless, deep Vivid Black. Cloaked in this high-gloss factory paint, this premium machine strips away traditional chrome to showcase a fully blacked-out aesthetic that wraps the front forks, handlebars, engine covers, and full dual exhaust system in a menacing custom treatment. The iconic profile is defined by Harley-Davidson's legendary fork-mounted Batwing fairing, featuring splitstream venting that slices cleanly through head buffeting and a bright Daymaker® Reflector LED headlamp that pierces the dark with absolute clarity.
At its mechanical heart sits the high-performance Milwaukee-Eight™ 114 V-Twin engine, an absolute brute of a powerplant that uncoils 118 ft-lbs of hard-hitting, low-end torque for instantaneous throttle response and effortless highway passing power. Power flows seamlessly through a smooth-shifting 6-speed Cruise Drive® transmission, while the stiff, nimble touring chassis rolls on striking, gloss-black Prodigy cast aluminum wheels (a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear). Tucked neatly alongside the rear wheel are stretched, color-matched saddlebags that drop low to hug the exhaust pipes for an ultra-low, custom silhouette while offering plenty of secure cargo space for long-haul road trips.
The premium rider command center houses the state-of-the-art Boom!™ Box GTS Infotainment System, sporting a sleek, glove-friendly color touchscreen with crisp Bluetooth connectivity, premium navigation, and smartphone integration. Suspension tuning is simple via an easily accessible hand-adjustable rear preload knob, ensuring a plush ride whether riding solo or fully loaded. Complete with high-performance Brembo® brakes and a comprehensive suite of electronic rider aids, this blacked-out Vivid Black masterpiece perfectly marries raw street-level aggression with cross-country touring comfort.
