2024 Harley-Davidson Hydra-Glide Revival Adds to Icons Collection
Limited edition model priced at $24,999
Harley-Davidson officially announced the latest edition to its Icons collection with the new FLI Hydra-Glide Revival. As with past Icons models, the Hydra-Glide Revival draws inspiration from a model from Harley-Davidson’s long history, in this case, the Hydra-Glide that first introduced a telescopic front suspension to the brand 75 years ago.
The 2024 Harley-Davidson FLI Hydra-Glide Revival is priced at $24,999, or $2,500 more than the starting price for the Heritage Classic 114 on which it is based. That’s not as much of an increase as we expected, especially when some color options and a blacked out engine brings the Heritage Classic up to $24,349.
What separates the Hydra-Glide from the Heritage Classic is its custom Redline Red paint with Birch White side panels on the tank, a design inspired by 1956 Harley-Davidson models. The Harley-Davidson V tank badge is also inspired from 1955-1956 models, and a Hydra-Glide script badge adorns the front fender.
As with last year’s Icon model, the Electra Glide Highway King, the Hydra-Glide comes with a detachable 21-inch windscreen with a color-matched Redline Red lower portion. The engine, exhaust, steel laced wheels, fender trim, engine guard and fork covers are all finished in chrome.
The solo leather saddle is decorated with white seam piping, red contrast stitching and leather fringe, with a chrome rail adding an additional retro touch. The side panel are decorated with a chrome concho with an acrylic red center, and chrome studs. The leather and vinyl saddlebags are similarly styled to match the saddle.
The engine remains the same counter-balanced Milwaukee-Eight 114 V-Twin as most of the Softail family, but it’s been tuned to go with a Screamin’ Eagle High-Flow air cleaner. Otherwise, the rest of the Hydra-Glide is mechanically similar to the Heritage Classic 114.
Production of the Hydra-Glide Revival is limited to just 1,750 units worldwide, each with serialized inserts on the handlebar riser cap and an Icons Motorcycle Collection graphic on the rear fender.

It just seems like after 20 years of working on harley davidson twin cam motorcycles, that I'm just finishing up on getting all of those specialty tools. That you're going have to have on certain jobs with harley davidson twin cam bikes, and now with the Milwaukee 8s single cam motors I am seriously wondering what made them go to the single cam. Time will tell all.
I ride Indian, But I must say this is a very nice looking Harley, It looks like what a Harley should look like, I'm sure most of us baby boomers approve.
