Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Revival
The Electra Glide Revival introduced Harley-Davidson’s Icons Collection in 2021. Its one-time announced production limit was 1,500 serialized motorcycles worldwide. The design looked to the 1969 Electra Glide and the early accessory batwing fairing, using a modern touring platform to reinterpret a recognisable period appearance.

Design and engineering
Birch White fairing and saddlebag finishes recall the white fibreglass accessories offered in 1969. Hi-Fi Blue and Black Denim tank paint, a solo saddle and chrome detailing complete the period theme. Underneath sits a Milwaukee-Eight 114-powered contemporary motorcycle. The white bodywork is a deliberate tribute detail, rather than evidence that the modern machine uses original 1960s components.
Production and edition scope
The 1,500 figure records the factory’s single-run cap. It does not establish an audited final delivery count. Later Icons releases, including Highway King and Hydra-Glide Revival, are separate numbered models with different historical references. The broader Electra Glide family is not limited to this allocation, and a later photograph of a Revival does not create another model year.
Identifying an authentic example
Check the numbered identification, original invoice and model record against the distinctive white-and-blue presentation. Record any substituted fairing, bags, saddle or tank, retaining early photographs where possible. Confirm whether accessories accompanied the original delivery or were added later. The 1969 inspiration is model history, not a claim of ownership or competition provenance for an individual modern motorcycle.
Collector significance
The Revival established a clear approach for the Icons programme: an identifiable historical design translated through contemporary engineering. Its significance rests on that relationship and on the documented numbered series. A complete example can explain why the apparently contrasting white accessories matter, while a thorough service file records the modern motorcycle beneath them.
