The 2017 Street Glide Special is a defining year for the quintessential hot-rod bagger, bringing a raw, stripped-down look with its sinister Black Denim matte finish. This flat, satin-black paint covers the iconic fork-mounted Batwing fairing, sleek 6-gallon fuel tank, and streamlined One-Touch hard saddlebags. The dark, aggressive sheet metal forms a beautiful contrast against the bright chrome engine covers, dual exhaust, and the iconic 19-inch front Enforcer cast aluminum wheel.
The headline for 2017 was the introduction of the Milwaukee-Eight® 107 V-Twin engine, marking a massive leap forward in power and refinement. This 4-valve per cylinder powerplant produces 111 ft-lbs of low-end torque, offering crisper throttle response and smoother highway performance through the 6-speed Cruise Drive transmission. As a Special model, it comes factory-equipped with premium emulsion rear shocks that feature hand-adjustable pre-load, Reflex™ Linked Brakes with ABS, and the Boom!™ Box 6.5GT infotainment system, complete with a 6.5-inch color touchscreen, integrated GPS navigation, and a powerful multi-speaker audio system.
