Custom 1977 Harley-Davidson FXE Super Glide

This 1977 Harley-Davidson FXE Super Glide custom was created in the bobber style at Green Devil Garage of Virginia Beach, Virginia, in 2016 as a raffle prize for End 22, a non-profit organization that raises awareness of veterans’ mental-health issues. The bike is finished in green and black over a black frame and powered by an overbored Shovelhead V-twin mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes an S&S Cycle Super E carburetor and cylinder heads, a Belt Drives Ltd open belt drive, an Andrews Products camshaft and gearset, and a dual-caliper rear disc brake from SpeedKing Racing. This Shovelhead bobber is now offered in Texas by the selling dealer on behalf of the current owner with a clean Virginia title.

The overbored Shovelhead V-twin is said to displace 80ci and was rebuilt using cylinder heads and internals from S&S Cycle along with a camshaft from Andrews Products. Other engine components include an S&S Super E carburetor and air cleaner and a pair of black exhaust pipes by Green Devil Garage that are heat-wrapped and brass-tipped. An odometer is absent, and the current owner estimates having added approximately 150 miles in four years.
