QuickRide: HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLHTCU

摘要

It's about time. Way back in 1980, Harley-Davidson introduced the FLT Tour Glide, the company's very first model to use rubber engine mounts. And since 1983, all FL tourers have rolled on that same chassis, which has undergone only a few small changes along the way.rnThat chassis nicely isolated the occupants from engine vibration, but the rubber mounts also meant the big V-Twin motor could not serve as a stressed frame member, thereby compromising the handling. FLs ever since have been inclined to wallow when cornering on bumpy pavement, especially two-up, and sometimes wiggle when running over longitudinal grooves and seams in the pavement.
