About the 2013 Harley-Davidson FLTRX Road Glide Custom

The 2013 FLTRX Road Glide Custom is a 'slammed' bagger known for its iconic frame-mounted shark-nose fairing and aggressive stance. This model year represents the final iteration of the pre-Rushmore touring platform, featuring the Twin Cam 103 engine as standard equipment. It is distinguished from the Road Glide Ultra by its lowered rear suspension, 18-inch front wheel, and streamlined custom rear fascia.
What Makes This Trim Special
  • Exhaust System — Chrome 2-into-1 exhaust with a single 4-inch diameter muffler.
  • Rear Fascia — Custom rear fender fascia with integrated tri-line LED lighting and a low-mounted license plate bracket.
  • Wind Deflector — Shorty, smoked Lexan wind deflector instead of a full windshield.
  • Wheels — Black, Slotted Disc cast aluminum wheels with an 18-inch front.
  • Saddlebag Latches — Color-matched saddlebag latches instead of chrome.
Likely but unverified:
  • Security Package — Factory option that bundles ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) and the Smart Security System.
