2017 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide
About the 2017 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide
The 2017 Street Glide marked a major milestone for Harley-Davidson as the first year of the Milwaukee-Eight 107 engine, replacing the long-running Twin Cam 103. This model year introduced significantly improved Showa Dual Bending Valve front suspension and hand-adjustable emulsion rear shocks. As the 'standard' bagger, it remains a benchmark for the stripped-down, hot-rod touring look with its iconic batwing fairing and hard saddlebags.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2017 Harley-Davidson FLHX Street Glide
It features the Milwaukee-Eight 107, which is a 1746cc V-Twin with four valves per cylinder and dual spark plugs.
The base FLHX comes with the Boom! Box 4.3 (non-touch). The Street Glide Special (FLHXS) comes with the 6.5GT touchscreen.
The engine takes approximately 4.5 quarts of oil with a filter change. It is recommended to start with 4 quarts and check the dipstick.
Sumping is when oil builds up in the crankcase instead of returning to the tank, causing power loss and heat. It is often fixed by installing a 2020-spec oil pump.
No, ABS was an optional upgrade on the base FLHX model in 2017, though it was standard on the Special (FLHXS).
It uses a 30Ah AGM battery, commonly referred to as a YTX30L-BS or GYZ32HL, with at least 385 Cold Cranking Amps.
This is a known 'fluid transfer' issue where oil migrates from the transmission to the primary. A primary vent kit is the factory-recommended fix.
The laden seat height (with a 180lb rider) is 26.1 inches, making it very accessible for shorter riders.
